Are we there yet?

Play Something Human by Muse…

If somebody asked you to prove you are Human, what would be your arguments?

Searching the definition of the term Human on any dictionary is quite disturbing, the vagueness of the explanations found is daunting. What make us different from other living creatures and what is the common ground for the Humankind?

In a world rigged by the fear of others and promoting individualism as an honourable pursuit, to think about who we are as a whole seems more than necessary. In order to face the challenges ahead of us as a specie living on a shared earth, we should explore the spectrum of humanity that we are.

Facing the stars, we wish to escape our responsibilities leaving the unknown continent that is here in ourselves. How then can we avoid the same mistakes we made here, while we try to reach new planets, without a better understanding of our condition?

I don’t have the answers to all those questions that we asked ourselves for aeons, but with more brains combined maybe we can find ways in the fog of our thoughts.
