Being human
I am not talking about being human by morning and vampire by
night or the Being Human TV series that I must say is the most ridiculous show
I have ever seen…I am not talking about being human in the biological sense
I am talking about being in human in the behavioral sense
I am growing weary of those who don’t understand this
concept
People who think they are perfect
The strive and desire to be perfect robs people of their humanness
Often “Perfect” People are
People who are so in love with themselves they don’t notice
anyone around them
People who think they are so important in their jobs that
nobody else’s work matters
People who never apologize
People who don’t admit they are weak
People who are afraid to be real
People who have no compassion for others
I am pretty lucky if a day goes by without my humanness and
imperfections showing up
I do the best I can each day given the situation I am
dealing with…
Some those days my humanness and imperfections are screaming out to be noticed…
Many of those days I make mistakes, I mess up, I need help,
I am inadequate, I lack knowledge, I am weak, I get to say “I am sorry”
multiple times and I get lost (physically and metaphorically)
Those days happen
But at the end of those days I remember how beautiful it is
to have the ability to be human.
To learn from my mistakes, to self-reflect, to
correct my wrongs, to learn to do things better, to strive to help others, to
help myself, to love, to mess up, to laugh, to learn, to cry, to celebrate, to
share and to be around those who love and support me just the way I am
Being perfect isn’t being human….being perfect is a sad
illusion and a robber of real life experiences and relationships
