Human Being

I think to be human is to be indescribable. Some consider being human, being able to express emotion whether it be good or bad, and convey their own thoughts and ideas to others. Others consider being human to be a lucky break, perhaps, because of the opposable thumbs. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Marianne Williamson once said, "Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." I think she said it pretty well to be human means to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous, its about being exactly who you want to be. Being human gives one the ability to think for themselves and have their own opinions on anything and everything they want. However I also think that being human reserves you the right to decide for yourself what it really means so you can agree and disagree with whatever you want and that's what makes it so special, these are just my personal opinions on what being human is.
