Human Being

Humanity

If "human being" was written on a crumbled piece of paper, tossed in our hands unexpectedly, we would automatically associate and attach "human being" with "trash," "okay," "stupid," and "loser." In this day and age, "human being" has been wiped away from the essence of humanity. The creation of the human species existing in singularity or even as one individual being is perfection. It was never anything less than perfection. Funny right? This shows how powerful we are in singularity and how impressive we are as a "human being." Our power has reduced its own power because it loves to play with fire. Has our principle of free will in the third dimension become a territorial, creative playground for us to mess with our perfection? For centuries, we have coined terms, such as "evolution," "invention," "more." Problem is, we invest in these terms with a trade-off. As specific expectations, such as "individualism," "success," and "better," arose, we started to adhere to a specific box that we do not understand. However, it is our human nature that does not care to understand this box. In fact, our ego gets in our way of understanding, of wanting to make peace with our differences because our ego plays king. Our ego plays king until these differences are met with polarized perceptions of "you're nothing," "let me think for you," and "do not question things," or you will lose the game. The game of life is the ego's favorite arena to play with, but it does not care to know whether or not it will lose its humanity. Is it not terrifying? The ego will forfeit our humanity just because it wanted to play a game. This is a game that we are destined to lose. Fitting in this box leaves us with one trade-off: we put aside our humanity to play the game, to receive the gratified love, the gratified success we are cherished with. In every box that we have made, in every term we have coined and invested in, we reduce our chances of remembering our humanity. Our perception, our entire imprint of humanity becomes nothing more than gratification, convenience, and this success that is meant to destroy us who we dare mess with "control." We are promised control and gratification in this game. At what cost? Our humanity is devalued, laughed at, and seen as a despicable source of fulfillment...why is that? Where have we gone in these boxes to decide to wipe away our own humanity? It has become an "us vs them surveillance camera." We either choose to play or we don't. Either way, we are stuck in the same questioning process: where did humanity all go wrong? But, humanity never went wrong. It was our free will that has generated so many applications, possibilities inside these boxes that we can't see the blank piece of paper for its origins anymore. We see nothing but its polluted sources of wanting this or that...yet the truth has become an unbearable monstrosity. Why will we want to play a game that wipes us of our humanity? 

The truth is the crumbled piece of paper. Written on it, we will see "human being." The origins have become blurry and even without the term, we will do anything to fill that blank piece of paper even if it is not the truth. 

Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. One man thinks himself the master of others, but remains more of a slave than they are
