What does being human mean?

Being human means striving for a better purpose and being able to feel emotions. Everybody feels and wants to do something. Might be something miniscule or humungous, doesn't matter, they still want to do and feel something. If someone had no emotions or goals for there life, I believe that that person would lose the qualities that would make them human.

Everyone wants to do something with their life. No matter what the goal is, everyone has one. The goal might be to become a firefighter, lawyer, hobo, create life like Victor Frankenstein, or even a power ranger, there is still a goal set. My goal is to become a welder once I graduate from high school and college. Having goals is part of what makes humans humans and everyone should set a high goal for themselves.

Every human has the capacity to feel emotions. No matter who you are, you feel some sort of emotion.It could be happiness, sadness, remorse, indifference, or even appathy, people still feel something. Someone could be a evil villain or the world’s most nicest person, they still feel something. Even if it is just a fleeting feeling, the feeling is still there and that is also part of what makes us humans so different than other species.

Some people will say animals feel emotions to, and they do. The feelings I’m talking about are deep emotions that could rule a person’s life. Animals go off of instincts instead of emotions. Those certain people might also say animals have a purpose as well, and, yet again, they do, but they do not set goals for themselves and strive to achieve that purpose.
