If you believe this type of comparison viable, begin to think about the entire body from that one single cell's perspective... What understanding could one single cell become aware of, in regards to how the entire body, as a whole, functioned?
Might it have similar understandings to those that we come to, as humans, trying to figure our own lives within this world? Maybe some cells believe that once they die, within the body, that that's it and there will be nothing more. Maybe some believe they will reincarnate as another cell and continue their work. And, maybe some cells believe there is something more after they die. etc...
Yet, miraculously, the body (at the body's own level - at our level) continues to function regardless of what each cell might or might not believe.
Now, begin to think of one single cell, from our perspective... We know the functions of the different types of cells, yet we don't know what one single cell is doing at any given moment, do we?
