( SEVEN MINUTE READ)

Presently we have a new BBC drama named THE WAR BETWEEN THE LAND AND THE SEA.

IT PORTRAYS A SPECIES THAT HAS EVOLVED IN THE DEEPS OF OUR OCEANS BEING WIPE OUT BY HUMANS POLLUTION OF PLA STIC.

IT ASKS THE ABOVE.

WHAT IS IT THAT DEFINES A HUMAN?

Unfortunately.

GREED, DISTRUST AND DESTRUCTION and JUDGMENTAL SEEM APPROPRIATE.

————————-

For all our intellect we do not know and for all our communicative capacity we cannot say what it is to be human.

All definitions are exclusive.

Other than one has to be born and die to be human.

Hence , any attempt to describe the features that constitute a human will result in some people suffering discrimination.

But let’s explore the idea regardless. 

You are not a human.

You are merely experiencing the subjective reality that the human is enduring. You are the receiver of the sensory perceptions that the human is experiencing.

You are not synonymous with the human, you are experiencing the human.

You are consciousness behind the human.

This, then, is what it means to be human:

We can say that we are most destructive species of this universe. We try to destroy every thing around us for our mere existence.

We are supposed to be understanding and generous but we are exactly contrary to that.

We take every thing for granted.

Humans don’t exist as discrete individual we co/ exist, so it’s very important to be human first to accept another.

There is nothing convenient about being human.

Humanity calls for love, forgiveness, kindness, understanding and compassion.

To actually be human is to care about, listen to, believe in, and help others without an expectation of return.

We forgot that we are all part of one whole.

Once you replace the word human with refugee-, immigrant ( or in time of war give labels to the enemy like Nips ) we dehumanise what it means to be human.

With AI we are in danger of never being human again.

To be quite clear – all of our lives—all of our friendships points to the overwhelming fact that underlies all of existence.

And in fact if life is just about being rational, there is no ability for one to improve over time—because we all share equally.

In the desire for a materialistic wants we end up in the love for things that matters to no one as far as humanity is concerned.

This, then, is what it means to be human:

I am a human being making dozens of micro-decisions a day under shifting conditions — weighing hypoglycemia, embarrassment, fatigue, frustration, fear — often in milliseconds.

Every data point hides a decision, and every decision hides a state of mind.

For all our intellect we do not know and for all our communicative capacity we cannot say.

All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
