What Humans Are

Filed under: english 9A, identity — csommer @ 3:04 pm

I am psyche, free will, and human nature. I am pieces of the earth. Every skin cell I lose goes into the ground, ends up in my food, and gets consumed. My sweat will evaporate into the air, and will come down as rain. Every time I breathe I am taking in bits of other people. All individuals have their own soul. I am my soul, my conscience, my mind, and my free will. Without all these assets I wouldn’t be human. My mind uses old thoughts, discoveries, and ideas to make new ideas. Free will allows me to wonder about whether humans exist. My conscience tells me the difference between right and wrong. Treating animals with dignity is one of the most important parts in life. We are the only living beings that have a choice to treat others humanely. Not one creature on this earth deserves to be treated without importance, care, and dignity.
