The feeling of being alive, the thrill of experiencing tomorrow, to be able to perceive ourselves, is the greatest wonder of the world. What makes us humans is to be able to celebrate humanity. What Does It Mean To Be Human? Before answering this question, it is essential to know what is meant by ‘humanity’. The quality of being humane; benevolence, a sense of compassion and sensitivity that is characteristic to the human race is ‘humanity’. All humans are sensitive, even if it is deep-rooted. ‘Humanity’ is what makes us more human than ‘heredity’. Humans have minds, emotions, the ability to communicate, to perceive, to empathize, their creative capacity, unique to their creation. It is to one’s potential that they define what it means to be human to them. To be human is to have the freedom of whoever one wants to be, but behind the bars of humanity. Living life to its fullest, fulfilling the responsibilities given, discovering oneself through the journey of life, boils down to what it means to be human.
A dream or a passion that pushes people through obstacles in life is what keeps them grounded to being a human. Often can one notice the spark in the eyes of a person when speaking about their dreams and aims, the thrill in one’s voice when they talk about love, any pursuit that gives hope for tomorrow is the backbone of our lives. Emotions’ are a vivid attribute to humans. Humans can communicate through their emotions in the most genuine way. To laugh out loud when happy, to cry out in the raw when hurt, to shout and strain our voices when angry, to be able to feel our hearts warming up from a touch of love, to feel the pain of others, to have a sense of commitment is what keeps us from losing the human in us.
Being human means being imperfect and harbor both strength and weaknesses in us. To be human is to be flawed, being stressed under pressure, to want to give up at some point, be tired but then at the end of the day to reflect on yourself. Having beliefs, cultures, interests makes a person unique to themselves, celebrating ourselves keeps humanity stuck to us. From back in times, humans have evolved to become a modern man today. Developing over time has only helped us realize what it means to be human, the infinite capacities that are within us, and how we can only strive to make the future better. Robert Frost is a poet well known to depict his outlook on human life through his poems like “stopping by the woods on a snowy evening”, “birches” and many more, where he is in a constant debate between escapism and reality. Even though he would love to live in an elusive dream, all of his poems conclude with him accepting his responsibilities before becoming a slave to his fantasies. This debate is what makes us human. Humans can question their motives, make a mature decision, accept life with all its shortcomings as well as surprises, be happy with their achievement, and realize that they have to attend to their responsibilities at any cost.
