What does it mean to be human?

To be human means that you are aware of your limitations and cogniscent of the fact that you are a part of something greater than yourself. For humans, life isn't about simply surviving as it is for other species. We are capable of much more than this primitive lifestyle. This is both a blessing and a curse. We are able to have a much greater variety of emotions and experiences. With this comes great responsibility. It also comes with the ups and the downs. After all we would never appreciate how great life can be if it weren't for the moments that force us to question and examine every facet of our existence. Being human is all about overcoming. We are a species who continually perseveres and that is what we are designed to do. Being human is about chasing your dreams, finding true love, and hoping to do all that you can to be remembered after you're gone.
