What does it mean to be human?

Unmasked
1 min readMar 28, 2020

Why can’t we just be and that be enough? ⁠
Why must we transact out time for currency that on a deeper level doesn’t mean or add anything to our lives? ⁠
Why must we enslave ourselves to capitalism to have a roof over our heard and food in our bellies? ⁠
Why must we equate our self worth to these manmade constructs?⁠
Who are we when we have nothing?⁠
Does our worth as an animal diminish when we are without resources?⁠

Are we no longer children of god? ⁠
Are we no longer connected to what is divine and in our right to be as we are?⁠
What is our value when we have ‘nothing’?⁠

What about our joy? Our Love?⁠
Our care for others?⁠
What about our willingness to be supported? ⁠
and to support others?⁠
What about our willingness to share, to create, and to collaborate? ⁠

What does it mean to be a ‘successful’ human? ⁠
To be seen and deemed ‘valuable’ by others?⁠
Or to see and feel value for ourselves just as we are?⁠
