What does it mean to "be human"?
What is required of to "be human"?
Does "being human" mean anything?

To be human is to be able to express yourself, to be able to process what you hear and see and understand it; being homo sapien.
Being human takes on several different meanings and in itself is contradictory. There is no single answer for this question and what is required is to take on characteristics that people can empathize and/or sympathize and connect with. If I were to define it it would be to have the ability to feel and understand in a way that is proper.
Being human does mean something, but not in a way that it may be useful in real life. You can be human, but you may commit acts that are unsightly. You may just do about anything and be human, but it never actually is acted upon in a way that it is suggested. People cannot help the feeling of being careless or malicious, or not as understanding or sympathetic.
Being human is a phrase that describes a work of fiction or something out of a movie. In life there are many ways to see it and many people to compare it to. Though being human is just being of the species homo sapien. If you were to akin it to a animal or a character in a book, if they are not human than they are not human.
In other words you would describe them as having the ability to understand, express themselves, and act upon their actions, not "being human". It is a phrase that is questioned for a simple reason. It is used to describe characteristics that is not expressed in it if it is looked at from another perspective.
Even though I gave my thoughts on this topic I want to ask you: if you looked at "being human" from another perspective would you say the same things I did or be indifferent to it?
Please think on it for a while and tell me what you think or keep the answer to yourself.=^..^=
