Humanity has many definitions. Several philosophers and theorists define humanity as wretched creatures, solely evil within. Others define humans as still pure within their core, but have lost their way because of circumstances. Humanity's definition in contrast and complexity.
Describe yourself- a question that makes several individuals stop and ponder in thought and maybe even hesitation for some before answering. A question that defines you and limits you within its boundaries in its response and answer in itself.
What defines a person? Is it their ambitions? Their name? The experiences they go through? Does a degree make a person? Or their job position? Is it a test grade or the clothes they wear that defines them? The literature we perceive? The musical lyrics we comprehend? Is it the art we find awe striking? The culture we grew up in? Or the place we absorbed lessons from? Is it the morals and virtues we are stubbornly fixed upon and hold on to? What makes a person? What defines a person?
Can we even define a person at all? Limit their core meaning. Is it even possible to find a single, exact definition that includes all aspects of a person, although that person is continually transforming and is a dynamic within itself. As time has shown us, change is constant, so is it worth it to determine a label on a person? A label and definition that would continually change its meaning and silently confine a person's meaning.
So what is your single definition? Or do you hesitate in your response? Or even define yourself as changing?
