What does being Human Mean?

Being human is having emotions, conscious, have a soul, to reason , and to question what you have doubts about. Humans "go together like rama lama ding da ding da dong, that's the way it should be, whoa woo yeah!!! We are one of a kind."

Human being means to have a soul. For example, you see a car crash do you stop and help or just drive by? My uncle believes people with a soul would stop and help and if a person did not they would feel guilty. Being guilty also ties into emotions. If we did't have feelings and emotions, we would be an empty shell. Not really caring abotu anything, the world would be a hateful place. If we didnt have a soul, we wouldnt have emotions and feelings.

Being Human means to have a conscious and the ability to reason and question what you have doubts about. For instance, the Bible in God's word explains it thoroughly, "God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." That would fall into our conscious knowing what we can and cannot change. Knowing how human beings are different from live beings is the wisdom to know the difference. Like in Frankenstien, the monster knew he was different and knew no one would change towards him. He says, "All men hate the wretched; how, then, must I be hated, who am miserable by all living things!" Humans like Frankenstien understand and have more than one purpose in life.

Some would say that is what makes us different is to have a brain. From what i stated above in the quote from the Bible, "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." It's not just the brain it has other factors combined. God granted us that so technically when Adam and Eve were made knew the differences and didn't have to learn

So basicaly everything I have written above is what i think being human means. The question how do we differ from live beings gives us an idea of what to think about. Liek parasites they are living, but isn't human beings. They don't have the characteristics or personalities that we do. They don't even have emotions and feelings, or even a soul for that matter. Human beings have many different ways they are different from live beings.
