Redefining the Human.

[Black_Bird]

Multi-faceted individuals: those who aren't just around for the good times, but are there all the time. Individuals who have a sort of integrity to them, regardless of how flawed or mis-guided that integrity seems to be, are precious.

There are a good number of such individuals here; there are also a good number of 'personaes' which exists for the sole purpose of exploiting others in one fashion or another. This is the very opposite, in my mind, of what I find important about an individual's character.

There are those who are human beings and are the others. Humanity isn't something you are born to; it's something you earn.

 

[sigh]

Sorta depends on your definition of "human", doesn't it?

But then, I like your definition just fine.

 

[Sillyman]

The world is what I say it is, half of this Thursday with your coupon!

 

[grrrly]

[Black_Bird]

An ape.

How about I call you Kiki... it's sounds closer to the word "kinky."

I don't think you can define human in terms of fair-weather friends.

 

[Black_Bird]

I don't think you can define human in terms of fair-weather friends.

... Its more then just about fair-weather friends. Who here would like to claim that a pedophile is a human?

 

[bluntforcemama]

Technically, he is. There are no boundaries between man and beast, though, there are only the paths the lead there.

 

[Never]

I would.

~edit~

Before you ask.. I also think Hitler was human.

 

[glamorilla]

He just went after the wrong people.

 

[Never]

Nice av glam..
Who should he have gone after?

 

[glamorilla]

Racists and people who hurt small chldren.

Homo du novous......the next step in evolution.....a higher spritual being that will live in harmony with earth...there are few here already...more are being born each....they have not taken power yet..our time will come when the old die out...power structures change...we are close to a time of great transition.....There are so many human beings with so little soul (or discovered soul) hopefully it will change and the greed and fear will be replaced...

 

[Dillinger]

so if an individual isn't human what are they?

Mere pretenders. Imposters. Someone in the form of a human but without a real human soul.

 

[riff]

Humans are humans. People are people.

In so far as personnae and all of that, "yeah, I know what you mean."

But unless someone has a very clever monkey or cat or something, it's still people typing all these words we read.

I am a person, not an ape. But like an ape, I am a primate.

Don't let it get you down.

This Aeon is merely the shifting period. The next will be ours...

I would. Fucked-up in my book, but human.

 

[Never]

I wish. Unfortunately my idea of human is caught up in the concept of choice and understanding. I believe that to be human means understanding right and wrong and be able to choose one. (Can't tell I live in a Christian dominated society, can yah?) People do things that are wrong for a reason and I don't think that we could ever be rid of those people unless people really did become apes.

Now that I think of it, my definition of humanity is the exact opposite as Black Birds as it depends on the Hitlers and child molesters of the world.
