absolutely!
ReplyDeleteThe difference between being and doing. We are human beings not human doings.
ReplyDeleteA little bit of humility goes a long way, I think. We're a lot less complicated and much more mysterious than we dare to admit.
ReplyDeleteBeing all too human wriggling in the muck of life: an elongated worm in search of its own end.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what that means, being a bear of little brain.
ReplyDeletePretty amazing line. Since human beings have the ability to be so much....
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
ReplyDeletePerfect sentence!
ReplyDeleteYet so many forget this and decide to be what everyone else wants them to be...
Whew! I can do that. The pressure's off! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm digging the "have to" clause. That means I've options to be other than human; it's been perhaps too long since I've gone over those. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of the best parts about human nature is the individuals ability to change what that nature is.
ReplyDeleteAh, so true, but what if I’d like to be a bird or a dog? Just kidding. :) Being human, being what you were born to be, is simply being yourself with any pretension. I like it!
