If you were to define the word "human" in the dictionary, you would probably get a generic answer. A dictionary definition would most likely say that a human is a living breathing creature that can think, function, and choose between right and wrong all on their own. This definition is correct, yet incorrect all at the same time. It is true that a human lives, breathes, and can make decisions all on their own. However, that definition doesn't even begin to describe everything there is to know about being a human being. The true definition of a human being is as follows:
Human Being:
- a living, breathing creature that is capable of almost anything. What they decide to do with their lives is up to them.
- a living, breathing creature that sometimes is faulty and makes mistakes. Lots of them. These mistakes result in a new and improved human once they learn from their mistakes.
- a living, breathing creature that has the ability to care about another more than they care about their own self. (This includes parents, friends, husbands, wives, siblings, etc.) This ability allows humans to come together and make the world a better place.
- a living, breathing creature that also has the ability to become a monster. Due to their "free will", they have the option to not only improve another human's life, but they also have the option to ruin or destroy another's life.
- a living, breathing creature that is beautiful in all of its imperfections
