Admit You're Human

Over the years, I have seen the growth of this expression, “Being Human.” When I see the shirts with the expression, I often think to myself “That’s great.” Although, sometimes I just shake my head because I have believed in this expression for years and years.  

As a living, breathing, human being created by my higher power, I believe in the beauty of flaw.  I believe that we are not created to be perfect.  We are all just imperfect human beings.  Sometimes we look at others and think, “Wow, they’re perfect.” This is a false sense of reality created within our own conscious minds. Yes, our conscious minds. We are conscious of the truth, but we choose to disregard the facts presented in front of us.  When we have a flaw it’s a flaw that we are given for a reason.  We are given that flaw to challenge us to rise.  To rise to become a better person by learning about our flaw and how to improve our being.  Some people go their whole lives observing their flaws, but never making one attempt to change it.  When it comes to my own behavior, I know God made me imperfectly.  These imperfections can be seen as a weakness or I can work on them everyday to make them a potential strength. 

Sometimes we receive weaknesses that we don’t want, we really don’t want.  You question God or your question yourself with one word. “Why?”

Why was I chosen to have these flaws? Why couldn’t you just make me perfect?

The best example of this is one of my favorite people in the world Mahatma Ghandi.  Mahatma Ghandi is not one of my idols because of his commercial typical likings.  He is my favorite person because he was flawed.  He engaged in adultery, he lied, he stole, and he rebelled against his religion on many occasions before became wise and knowledgeable. He engaged in a lot of self-reflection and time for real experience when away from his parents. With his flaws, he learned and he grew and he turned into one of the most amazing human beings in history.  If he did not engage in his imperfections, he would never be who he was today. This is my own theory in regards to the importance of embracing our flaws and shining after reflection, work, and understanding.
   

It proves the expression that has crossed so many countries and continents, it’s called.... 
“Being Human….”
