Title: Humanize Me!
Saad Manasterli
Who are we as a people and what are we to do with time, for time does not last forever and weare most definitel not everlastin. So in turn " as# mself, what is everlastin and what can
withstand the tides of time and its witherin was of evolvin$
" sit here and contemplate whether or not " am on the path of rihteousness, and if " am, is it
reall the riht one$ %oubt is the everlastin disparit that was handed down to us b thealmiht creator, doubt is the one thin that ma#es us human, some people feel as if it is actuall
the brain, the thouht process, but even animals have personalities. &ou miht thin# that " am
craz, but then wh aren't all animals the same, wh do some feel above humans and wh do
some feel as if the are an interal part of the famil$
" then seem to as# mself another (uestion, could it be love that sets us apart from the savae
animals$ Hmm, " wonder if love reall is love or if it is )ust a few words that we put toether tohave a title for an une*plained feelin. Mabe it is all )ust se*ual, we all have our se*ual instinct,
and isn't that what actuall attracts us to the other person, be it of the same se* or not$ +laimin
that onl animals mate in the middle of nowhere without reard to the surroundins, " put it to
ou li#e this, if Man didn't create laws aainst that particular activit, or if Man didn't drill the
sense of it bein taboo into the s#ulls of the people, then would that ma#e us animals as well$
"f we aren't )ust basic se*ual creatures then wh all of these ures to mate, and spread the love$
We can e*press how we feel in words, but it does not relate to how ou can e*press ourself in
the phsical sense. #, don't we alwas sa: -ctions spea# louder than words!/ "f we follow our
own words then matin is )ust an e*pression of the man0made word love. nd when we tell each
other that we love and1or love not, how can we all tell if that is true, " mean even +her #nows the
answer to that (uestion, as she (uite simpl put it: -"f ou wanna #now if he loves ou so, its inhis #iss./
So b process of elimination " can conclude that words are merel letters that facilitate a
communicative e*pression between humans, but b tal#in we hear distinct voices, but the
lanuae in this case, let's sa 2nlish, is onl understood because it has been indoctrinated into
societ, and the combinations of the letters are #nown to be reconized as such, so basicall ever
sound has an attached value, )ust as in mathematics, where we have 3 and &4 b themselves the
mean nothin, but when combined in a certain wa we deduce a meanin that was instilled in our
societ. 5or e*ample: 36&7love. "sn't math the universal lanuae anwa$
So " still sit here feelin constricted to these thouhts and ideas and " continuousl as# the
(uestion aain, who are we$ 8ut to brin it closer to home, who am "$ " pose a (uestion to mselfthat " have et had the chance to answer, "'ve searched hih and " loo#ed below, "'ve turned
mountains and du holes, in an attempt to fiure out the puzzle or the riddle called -Me./ 8ut m
calls are still left unanswered, and it beins to di into me, li#e an overzealous homicidal maniac.
Mabe it's a curse that " would want to #now who " am, but wouldn't ou want to #now$
Still no answer.

Have " been ranted the title of human because " wal# on two feet and have opposable thumbs, is
it because " can understand what the combinations of letters means, is it because " do o
allivantin in public trin to mate, is it because " have a brain that allows me to thin# for m
own. 8ut animals do that too. m " human because " am free, and " have the abilit to ma#e
choices, then aain ever sinle bein has the abilit to ma#e choices, et it seems that theanimals have more rihts than we do. 2speciall in the states, where it seems li#e people have
ta#en an -" have no purpose in life/ pill and decided that the should save animals 9which " amnot aainst. 8ut what about the people that actuall need help$ "f ou see a poor s#inn cat or
do on the street, ou feel sorr for it, and ou sa -awwwww, ou poor thin!/ Then mabe ou
pic# it up and ta#e it to a vet. n the other hand ou have people din of famine and diseases,
and ou wouldn't lift a finer. &ou tell me what's wron with that picture. nd it even costs more
to ta#e our pet to the vet instead of ta#in ourself to the doctor, see that )ust doesn't ma#e an
sense.
So here " am torn apart b this (uestion. What ma#es us human$ What constitutes the fabric of
humanit, is it because we are humane$ %oubtful! "f that was the case then wh all the wars and
sufferin$ "f ta#in care of pets ma#es ou human, then " am human four times over4 " have four
pets.
Still not the answer! Then what is the answer$ How can " find the answer to this everlastin
(uestion, which echoes itself throuh space and time$ How could it be possible for us to have
survived time and end up where we are toda as a race of humanit$ ;oo#in in the mirror " see
me, but the reflection is )ust missin an answer to m humanit. Still, the (uestion will alwasremain to be: Me.
