DAY 28 – KEY ASPECTS OF BEING HUMAN (THAT AFFECTS OUR ABILITY TO MEET THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS)

I am on a safari in Africa. As we travel along a road the guide continually points out the various species of animals and tells us about their specific traits, capabilities and attributes. He tells us that every species on earth is unique from the perspective of having certain key aspects unto themselves that affects their ability to survive and thrive.

When we think about ourselves we are no different in having key aspects to being human that affects our ability to not only survive but to go beyond what any other species can do. Our minds can think through issues in a creative manner that allows us to try and find a better approach. Our arms, hands, fingers, legs and feet give us maneuverability that enables us to carry out our daily affairs in so many different ways.

We also have other aspects to being human that play a role in each individual’s personal life as well as in society as a whole. A person’s ability to have fewer or more difficulties are related to these key aspects. Humanity’s collective ability to have fewer or more problems are related to these key aspects. By understanding how these key aspects form many of the connections of the human jigsaw puzzle and having a more in-depth understanding of what we do and why we do it we will have greater insights into human life that is important in achieving the nine basic requirements for a better life and better world.

Thinking about how all species have certain key aspects that are unique to them, I now realize that I need to have a greater understanding about what affects my ability to have a better life. The more I know the more effective I will become in making my life better, contributing to other people having better lives and contributing to a clean and sustainable earth.
