To be human means you get to make mistakes. It means you get to experience the world about you and share what you learn with others. It means getting outside of yourself. It means constantly seeking new things and enlarging your soul.
I think to be human means to be a little vain. We learn what is of interest or of importance to US. I may sit in a classroom and be a model student, but unless I actually care about the topic, there is no way that I am going to incorporate that knowledge into my current schema. P.S. I totally looked up Narcissism Personality Disorder and I'm not that bad, so don't judge. I just have healthy self-esteem.
Being human means being creative. We exist to create. We exist to make a difference. We exist to share our lives with others. Of course, to share with others, you have to start with believing you have inherent value, worth to be shared (hence the little vanity...it's good for the soul).
I really like the term 'agentic' that we've used this summer, the idea that humans are capable of agency. With that agency comes responsibility for those choices, of course, but the beautiful thing is that humans have that choice. I will mention this in further detail later, but we have the responsibility to be informed, engaged, productive citizens, wherever we might be.
