What does it means to be a human
We don't know what does it mean to be human (at least for most of us). We are born, without being aware of what does it mean to be alive, we take it as it is, we take it for granted.
We are born with total oblivion. We know nothing about this world. Luckily we are not aware that we know nothing! By the time we grow up, our society, especially our parents, tells us about this world. Some of them might be right, most of them are wrong! But we need that. Even a wrong reference is better than no reference at all. Somehow we need a starting point eventhough it is a false one.
But, once we grow older, we become more aware. We must have felt that some of our reference that we acquire from our society is false, or at least not good enough. We feel that something is not on the right track. Now we are face with two choices, to ignore it or to pursue it. Most people choose to ignore it, because to pursue it means walking to a land of the unknown, the TERRA INCOGNITA, where we question everything that we have acquire from our predecessor. It is not an easy task, and also not comfortable. Most people are happy enough in their dream, they don't want to wake up, to face the true reality.
There is only one way, to pursue the truth, to find what does it means tobe alive, what does it means to be a human. Without it, we will be vanish in the total oblivion... Read more!
