 Being human means a lot of different, complex things. Being human includes good things, bad things, mediocre things, events, and people. In terms of good things, being human directly relates to empathy, helping others, and being a generally nice person. As Chris Abani states in his video, when he was younger, he and his family were at an airport in England dressed in rags. A woman they did not know came up to them, emptied out her suitcase and gave them all her clothes, and all her kids’ toys. That is a fantastic example of humanity. Unfortunately, being human also includes bad things. Bad things can be small, like forgetting your homework or fighting with friends, but can also be big, like wars or natural disasters. Being human also means basic needs, like building shelter, gathering food, finding water, et cetera. A big part of being human is asking questions and being curious about unknown things, which lead to new discoveries. Being human also means being fair, treating everyone equally. Things like racism, homophobia, and sexism are not fair, and are not true to the meaning of humanity. Being human means all of this and much more, and some things we may never really know.
