Being human is a very unusual term.

In the ancient times, using the term "son of man" which was synonymous with human, was something that showed unworthiness. It was a symbol of all that was corrupt, selfish and evil on earth. Many people view humans as inherently evil because they think that humans exists only to please themselves. To satisfy animistic and biologically induced wants.

Others believe differently.

They believe that humans care, that they wish to do good and love. They believe that we are superior to all other animals that exist. That through our ideas, creativity and merits we have dominance over society and our lives.

I believe BOTH.

We are both angels and demons. Neither perfect or completely incompetent. Though we have dominance over the earth, we must treat it right. We must learn to love, do good, continually advance. We must not fall to the self pleasing pleasures that we have in each of us. We must acknowledge our imperfections that all of us have, but we must overcome them. Because if our world is to improve, than each of us must improve too.
