We're all human

I just wanted to make a post reminding everyone in this sub-forum that even if we consider ourselves monsters or even if we are called monsters by other people, are *are* all human. It's a fact. Other people aren't able to change change the definition of human on the fly and neither can we. If Godly deeds don't make someone a God, then Monstrous deeds don't make someone a Monster.

Furthermore, each one of us probably has a terrible fear deep down in our heart that we are *the worst* person on the entire forum - but the fact that each one of us harbours this fear might mean that we are wrong and that we aren't judging ourselves correctly or objectively.

Finally, the natural world doesn't judge. It is society's right to derive people of the liberty and of all the frills of life - movies; football; music; telescopes; pinball machines; fine dining; etc. etc. - but people only truly own the things they have made and invented. Even though people talk about others 'stealing oxygen', these things - air; water; the sky; grass; even basic food and shelter as found in nature - just exist. They don't, or at least shouldn't, belong to anyone. In themselves they don't care about moral actions, judge humans, or put people into categories of good/ bad; redeemable/ irredeemable.

Even if you feel you don't deserve much, try to enjoy the simple fact of existence. Enjoy the air against your skin; the refreshment water brings; the sensation of your own breath. These things belong to no-one and everyone and you deserve to have them whatever you have done in life since their existence isn't a matter of deserving.

So profound. I have nothing to add except that your wisdom has been a huge help to me, Sprock. Thank you.

Thank you. That's a very sweet (and rather humbling) thing to read!

Right back at you. Your own - always stimulating and thoughtful - ideas have given me a lot of courage in recent months!

Thank you for posting this
