Human Beings

 To understand the who is or what is a human being we should understand the meaning of "being" first.

It means "the essence of something or someone" . For example ; the essence of a knife is to cut , the essence of a door lock is to be strong enough so not to break easily . 

Similarly, we should figure out first the essence of human to understand human being.

Let me jot down some:

Firstly, Human being is a bodily being , it seeks body pleasure.

Body pleasure can come from various sources such as eating a pizza , buying clothes , drinking alcohol/soft drinks or having intimacy with you partner.

Then , Human being is also a emotional being , we find jokes funny and laugh ( the happy emotions ) , and we hate some people in our lives due to different reasons ( the hate emotions) and we cry when someone leaves us permanently i.e death ( the sad emotions). Adding to this we also possess emotions like: love , affection , anger , disgust and many more.

But is this all?

No ! Humans beings are also rational being , the very ability which makes us different from rest of creatures. We reason , uses logics to do discoveries for example the democracy, it took us years to evolve a political system where the power lies into the hands of people unlike some kingdom states that used to thrive. We uses reason to eliminate evil practices like Sati . We used to reason to develop science and travelled to space . Had the dinosaur possessed this rational quality , they would have survived the asteroid apocalypse . Hence human being got the best gift i.e the rationality.

Lastly I would add humans beings are aesthetic beings as well. We love art , some of us become artist , Da Vinci was no different but was one of us. We love music , Arijit Singh , we love paintings , Mona Lisa , we love landscapes , the beaches and mountains, and find what pleases our eyes and heart or what satisfies our aesthetic sense. Some of you try to wear dresses which looks elegant and aesthetic..... Hope I m clear till here.🙃

And many such more beings lies within human being 

I just told you four......

So let's come to second part and most importantly part of this blog I would say!!

How to be a good human being?

First understand this , I told you the essence of a knife is to cut . And what makes a knife a good knife? A good knife is something which is sharp , a sharp knife is a good knife. To make something good we need to enhance its essence or add wellness to its essence. So add sharpness or wellness to human beings( in emotions , bodily , rational, aesthetic) .

But in modern world people often associate them only as bodily being , they try to maximize their bodily needs . They want cars , unlimited food , mobile phones, sex , unlimited clothes/shoes ,etc.

This is how you narrow yourself as a human being.

Such a human always try to add wellness and sharpness to their bodily desires only and bodily desires are infinite , cannot be fulfilled ever. 

So what to do?

Essentially to be a good human being is to develop all your human being aspects , develop your emotional intelligence, your rationally , your aesthetic sense and your bodily pleasure equally. Even I will say bodily desires are inferior in comparison to other aspects, I will explain some other time. But for now don't associate yourself to only bodily being , instead add wellness to you other beings as well.

That's how you do a Human well-being.
