What is THE ONE thing that makes you want to celebrate being a human?

Asked by mazingerz88 (28813points) July 3rd, 2011

Most certainly there should be so many things that would make you celebrate, shout with joy and feel triumphant for that you are a bonafide member of the human race. But can you narrow it all the way down to just one ultimate reason?

Distill it down to just one ultimate reason ok…. connectedness. I think when we explode with synergy and connection, that’s the ‘ultimate.’ Doesn’t have to be connections to other people, but maybe to nature, to our souls, to our inner workings, to our babies, animals whatever-

The courage someone displays when they let themselves be totally vulnerable to another.
It’s f’ing beautiful.

That we have sex just for the sheer fucking pleasure of it!
Oh & opposable thumbs.

@ucme dolphins do too! But we do have them on the thumb thing…

ucme's avatar

@redfeather I never said we were the only species, now did I? I mean, chimps do it too.

redfeather's avatar

@ucme no, you didn’t. I saw a dolphin orgy on tv once and I suppose that’s been engrained in my brain.
