While brain is the hardware, mind is the software that sits in the brain and drives it, like a driver sitting in a car.

There can be faults in the car or the driver..

@in10RjFox I think this is the best answer because anyone whose studied the brain knows it's just like a computer. If you damage the frontal lobe for instance, can give you temperamental issues. There was this one guy who even though I don't know his true character so he could have been like that before but from what I know the court wouldn't let him have his kid. The court's reason was because he damaged his brain so now he has anger issues occasionally so he couldn't have his child except under supervision.

@SatanBurger some drivers are good where they supersede their defect in the car by driving smartly and by conducting themselves well..
