What Does Being Human Means to You?

Today (Feb 3rd) is Human Day (Lunar Calendar), what does being human means to you? What defines humanity?

To some, human beings are scary, human beings are a destructive lot, especially to Mother Nature. Human beings create lots of sufferings, through wars, violence and killings.

However, I believe human beings are all born good, it is when we cannot control the negative emotions (anger, hate, fears, greed) inside us, that made us do bad things and hurt others.

If we can just take a look at the behavior of babies or young children, we hardly see any discrimination, hate or anger towards one another. If you give love to a baby, the baby loves you back, it is as simple as that. It is already encoded in our DNA that Love is the very essence of Life and Humanity. We sometimes make things very complicated due to our high intelligence, but actually humanity can be very simple, we are born to love one another.

Maybe some day, the world will be destroyed by humans but till that day, there will be many fellow humans who will do their best to stop this day from coming, by giving love and healing the world. I wish all my friends a Happy Human Day, may you understand the true meaning of being human and be a good human being while given a golden opportunity in this lifetime.
