Are you Happy Being a Human ? (139)

Jan 19, 2013 11:09 AM CST Are you Happy Being a Human ?
JeanKimberley: Are we human because of unique traits and attributes not shared with either animal or machine? The definition of "human" is circular: we are human by virtue of the properties that make us human (i.e., distinct from animal and machine). It is a definition by negation: that which separates us from animal and machine is our "human-ness".

We are human because we are not animal, nor machine. But such thinking has been rendered progressively less tenable by the advent of evolutionary and neo-evolutionary theories which postulate a continuum in nature between animals and Man.

Our uniqueness is partly quantitative and partly qualitative. Many animals are capable of cognitively manipulating symbols and using tools. Few are as adept at it as we are. These (two of many) are easily quantifiable differences.

I know I joke around a lot but to be perfectly honest there's times when I'm not happy being human.Especially when I see how society is today.

It scares me when I look around and on what some humans are really and truly capable of doing.

I agree with Cincy. It amazes me the horror that people are capable of.

I'm happy being human cause I'm in the choir choir choir

Scubadiva: Well, it's not as if I had a choice in the matter

Being an animal in a world that is dominated by humans... no thanks.

I think I'd like to be a rock. A pretty blue diamond. ... and that's something that I can be after I die.



That´s what my daughter says she´s gonna make me into when I die. I say.........I´m a diamond NOW!!!!!!!!!!!grin

what I think is that we humans don't get much say in the matter of whether we are humans or not so it is useless to waste worrying about whether I like it.

I don't hope humans spend more time worrying about behaving humanely thoteddybear

Regardless whether we are happy being human or not, we don't really have much choice in the matter....unless you have magical abilities that will transform you into another species...

But is that the real question here, is it so much being human that is the problem, or is it rather the stigma of being associated with the evils of humankind... The cruelty and malice exhibited towards fellow man and beast?
