Something inspirational


I have been listening to a song in Jen's car, a cover of "will you be there" by micheal jackson, and have been repeatedly irked by one of the lyrics.
But They Told Me
A Man Should Be Faithful
And Walk When Not Able
And Fight Till The End
But I'm Only Human

It's not the first time I've heard this excuse, and i doubt it's the first time you have. "I'm only human" I call bullshit. That's right, here and now, i want to silence anyone who has o ever intends to use their humanity as an excuse. Screw you. You're a disgrace to people.
"Oh snap!" I hear you say, "did he really just say that?" Of course I did. Being human is not something you can hide behind, it's something to be proud of. For thousands of years, people have been creating, loving, dancing singing, and being the greatest damn people on earth, all because they're human. Human beings are the only creatures on earth who think like we do, who really emote beyond basic instincts, is that something to hide behind? I say no, i'd say that it's a strength.
Take a short moment to look at the picture above. The reason i picked that building, the Aldar Hq in Abu Dhabi is that it strikes me as a beautiful symbol of us. Think for a moment about what must have gone into that building. Every single triangle of glass on the surface of that building is A: Gigantic, and B: has three side of different length. Think about that; Every triangle is different. Do you think that somehow, b random chance these thousands of triangles magically formed into a curved facade? Of course not! It was people, Humans, who took the work of honeybees, and applied their imagination to build skyscrapers, bridges, and homes. It's Humans whe launched themselves into space, who created medicine to help not only themselves, but other creatures as well/ Human isn't something to hide behind, it's something to be proud of.
