What makes us human?
What makes us human? This is a thousand year old question that has both baffled all experts in many fields of society.
With my having a baby recently, this question has come to baffle and excite me as well.
And to be I would somehow narrow down the experience into at least 4 dimensions – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual realms.
Physical – our bodies.
Emotional – our hearts.
Mental – our brains.
Spiritual = the glue that ties it all up.
In the end, it is a question of how did we take care of these 4 areas of our lives. Did we feed our bodies so it will last our lifetime? Did we nurture of brains so that we have become better people over time? Did we handle our emotions so that we feel empathy towards others? And lastly, did we cultivate our spiritual beings so that when our physical existence is over, then we can look forward to the next life after.
