what is it mean to be human ?

Ask:
I am really in a bad mood
I do not know because people say to be human is to love, care.. etc

so being human is not being so bad but also it is an excuse when you do
something wrong and say I am only human so what it really means ?

Well, there's a certain genetic code, but that's about the only thing that we all have in common.

Answer:
A human being, is a trifold creature, unique to the planet Earth. You are made of mind, body and spirit... or in other words, thought emotion and soul, or reason, passion, and divine spark. It is this trinity I believe, what other men were refering to when writing in the Bible that we are created in the image and likeness of God. That Spirit, Soul.. divine spark give us the power to create. It is the pure essence of love within us... our Mind is fallible, just as our body is. But it is our Reason that gives us choices, the greatest of gifts to our human condition. Our body, is the seat of our passion, which without we would lay our bed as the world spun around us... our passion is that which gives us drive, and unleashed without reason of the mind, and love of the spirit can be a very dangerous thing. I could go on, but this is what being human is to me. Bright blessings~ Richard

Answer:
I guess are belifes are what make us humans. I somtimes wonder if the human race was intended to be this way,if god or whatever or whoever created us wanted this to happen.Lets face it,mankind as a whole is pretty destructive...
Answer:
True. But that's an entirely different discussion.
Answer:
God never create this sort of life, nor did God "want" it to happen... what happens happens. God gave us free will, the power to use mind and reason to CHOOSE. Mankind has CREATED what is here now, by his choices, God had little if anything to do with it.
Answer:
I guess my thought is that old saying, "To be human is to make mistakes." We can't truly be expected to operate like a machine, although I know some people who come close to that. :))
Answer:
Once in a while man kind comes up with there answer to that question and once they have an answer they are happy with they keep it until the day they die. One day you will see your own answer that you will be happy with. No one can change it or challenge it. It will be your view and it will remain that way until you die. To me... To be human is to be you, to live, to love, to lose, to feel pain, to build yourself up, to go again, to keep going, to never stop, to never let things get in your way, to be happy, to be sad, to know what you do want, and to know what you don't want. This to me is what it is to be human. My view is my own and that is what I'm happy with. People can tell me I'm wrong and it wont matter. I'm sorry your feeling low/in a bad mood. I hope you feel better soon and I hope you come up with your own conclusion that makes you happy!
