[HE THINKS ON THAT. Because he sure has some Feelings.]
Humanity....personhood, its about connection. To others, to the world, to everything. So much of what any person does is rooted in that desire to be a part of something.
To have family and friends, people who care about you, and people you can care about. To have joy and comfort, to have love or competition, sometimes both. The ways you can make someone else's day better or have someone bring light to you.
But its not just the good and the gentle. Sometimes its about having that person you want to beat or destroy. Sometimes its about a good fight, a challenge, to be pushed to being something new.
Sometimes its about the lack. The lack of connection and the pain that causes. The suffering of no connection, and there you either find the strength to go forward, to fix it, or to give up. But its always better to keep going, because part of being a person is that life is ever changing. Circumstances always change and things can get worse, but they can also get better.
Sometimes its finding connection where you thought there was none. A strange, an enemy, someone who you look into their eyes and you see something like yourself.
Sometimes its a connection to the world. Being able to see a breathtaking sight and feel joy, like when you see the stars or the sea. Sometimes its seeing destruction and feeling pain. Sometimes its seeing endless snow and feeling dread.
To be a person is to have connection to the world and those around you, or to feel the lack of it, and to let those experiences change you and let you grow.
