"I think therefore I am" is where most all of us begin life. It validates our right as not only human but as a valued member. That to me is where we all start to show our humanity. What deviates us from our human nature is the vileness that discounts one over another. We are not cookie cutter individuals but neither are we more human than anyone else if we so recognize. We are not a demigod nor god species. Regardless if a book says we are created in the image of a god. We are just mortal human beings who share a short amount of time in a social society on a limited planet.
Our natural order of things has progressed over the centuries to the point now where war and destruction are choices not necessities. Those that start wars for the purpose of ill intent are not valued members of our human family. They are demented in their mindsets and must be put from our social order to a lesser existence. We human beings are corruptible when left to unchecked imaginings. We need each other to share in our experiences together so that we understand the diversity of our species. Just because we are aware of our own existence does not take from all others who are aware of theirs as well.
Validating my own existence was a priority when I was much younger. However foolish that priority was to me. I am validated as a human being simply because I think with care and wonder about existence and my taking up space within it. I don't need some tragedy or heroic accomplishment to justify my own life. I just need to be free to be me and what comes after that will define whether I was a good steward of my life. I know that caring and wondering will always make up the totality of my life. Because they are more natural to me than anything I have encountered. The best part is that being curious and caring make me much more able to interact with my fellow humans in a positive way. No need to quarantine me like some who cannot find the best of themselves to embrace.
