What does it means to be human? There is something deeply and mysterious in this question that we cannot explain. Being a human of course is to have fingers, head, heart, mouth, legs, hands, etc. But what is really meant by saying “to be human”? Does it mean that humans need to be able to speak? Need to have legs, hands? “What does it mean to be human?” The answer really depends on who will answer it. The meaning of being human is always being questioned by scientists. Though we cannot pinpoint exactly what it means to be human.
Human are just a really intelligent animal. We are selfish pieces of this world. We don’t think of others; we treat the things around us with contempt. Most of us think that we are not animal, but look back; we are just like an animal. Humans were created for each other, to help each other in life. They learn to be part of each other, understand and care to other. But as long as we expand we become more selfish and less care for others. We say so but being part of each other doesn’t mean that we can share everything we want to share. We still try to keep some secrets to ourselves. We started to think just for our own good; people do whatever they think is good for them. With nature we are also being selfish, thus that selfishness also appears between human and human too. For example, people keep destroying the forest for their goods for now and don’t even think of the future. They killed animals that make the animals being destroyed from day to day. But being a human we can tell we are not going to be selfish. To be honest I sometimes just think of myself. They do not just stop at not being fair with nature; humans are not fair with each other, too. Gender equality is one of the problems in the world now. Just that enough to show how selfish we are.
