Being human means that the planet of the apes is for reals.

To be an animal masquerading as an individual, beset from their instincts. With knowledge, hope, and an idea.

We're very lucky apes gifted with sentience, logic, and creativity. IMO, the one characteristic that separates us from other species is our ability to imagine and create. I am so happy I'm not some chimp living in a tree, picking fleas off of some other chimp's head, and eating bananas everyday.

You seem to be turning into one of my college literature professors. ;)

It means you're one of the beings who has found your way into a meat suit, destined to experience birth and death, and possibly a range of life in between that will vary from sadness to happiness; fear to security; loneliness to love.

When we successfully undertake What can make Human different with others creature: like plant, animals, etc, we can confidently distinguish ourselves with them.

To be human is to be species-centric, ego-centric, assuming the universe revolves around them, and ready to dismiss, kill and eat all other lifeforms.

To be human is to draw arms on snakes.
