What does it mean to be human? Phaedra H.

There are many different meanings on what it means to be human. My meaning of humanity is not being perfect. All humans have many flaws, they lie, they’re easily influenced, the make wrong decisions, they speak without thinking, say negative things, etc. But hey “we’re only human”.

Another aspect of humanity is instinct. When babies are born, it is said that they can feel who their mother is, they’re instinct I think creates a special connection to their mother and their other family members. It’s the same concept as a “mother’s instinct”, when she feels that something is wrong with her daughter, or that her daughter is lying. Many people say that twins have also have telepathic abilities, for example, if one twin breaks an arm, the other one will also feel pain. Humans have the ability to create connections to one another, like falling in love, or trusting one another; which is something that I think animals can easily do.
