What it means to be human

Being human is like being a student in high school. Everyone is working towards the same goal, and yet there are so many divisions amongst us. Much like the prevalent cliques in high school these days, the human world is divided into many different groups, racially, religiously, geographically and in so may other ways. Even though we are all divided, in the back of everyone’s head we still feel for each other. We may discriminate against each other for any reason, but if something catastrophic were to ever happen we band together to overcome it. This is one of the things that sets us apart from all other animals, our senses of empathy and compassion for each other. It are these two things that truly make us human.
