The mind is definitely stronger than the body. The mind is a very powerful thing, it controls your emotions, reactions, and it attracts negative or positive things to your life, depending on your attitude towards life, If you're a positive person, positive things are more than likely to happen to you.
On the one hand, Descartes argues that the mind is indivisible because he cannot perceive himself as having any parts. On the other hand, the body is divisible because he cannot think of a body except as having parts. Hence, if mind and body had the same nature, it would be a nature both with and without parts.e reaches this conclusion by arguing that the nature of the mind (that is, a thinking, non-extended thing) is completely different from that of the body (that is, an extended, non-thinking thing), and therefore it is possible for one to exist without the other.
