If I was to Choose.

What makes us humane? What qualities as humans make us all humans? If you were to choose your most desirable qualities what will they be?

What Makes Us Humans?

We laugh, sing, dance, and speak in different languages, we write and read, and we give birth to young ones like us, but these things we all do are done by most animals too. What makes us different from animals? What makes us Humane?

If I was to choose.

Love

It has a name but can not be explained

It can be felt but can not be explained

It can be said to anyone but not all can explain it.

It is the most beautiful thing one could feel.

if I was to choose I'd choose love, why I still can't explain that feeling of loving someone or being loved by someone I just feel it. I think that is what makes love so beautiful because if it can be explained then it will be less to things that make us humane, love makes humans.

Take a mother's love, for example, mother's love is pure, it endures, comforts is caring, and is everything, and yet that feeling can't be explained even by mothers. And we all feel that sense of attachment to families and friends and to people we don't even know, a feeling that comes from deep within, a quality that makes us uniquely human. Sadly a lot of people can switch it on and off now, and that makes humans not humans again and as some might say 'when love is switched off it makes humans turn into animals.

Joy.

What is there again if we don't have happiness and joy? If I were to choose I'd choose to be happy, this is one quality in humans that makes us stand out, animals get excited but what makes us different is that ours is joy. This quality on its own is unique and would make us succeed not just at work but in life.

As humans because of our imperfect state worries take over us more than joy, but this basic quality that makes us humans very much differentiates us from animals and their way of life.

When you are joyful you are free and who doesn't want freedom, freedom is something we all crave as humans and being humane as we can be we crave joy too.

Patience.

Composure, keeping your cool in the face of anything that comes your way. This quality is associated with so many qualities or qualities that are synonymous with it. Being patient makes you kind and makes you very considerate of others understanding everyone and every situation you find yourself in.

If I was to choose without blinking twice I'd pick patience, cause when you are patient you tend to think and that gives you purpose, and with purpose, you will be diligent in whatever endeavour you find yourself.

Conclusion.

If I was to choose, I'd choose love because what more can make us more humane, I'd choose joy because I want to be happy and have this keen sense of gratification and patience so I can be more understanding and have a real purpose.
