Interpretation of Man

A man is a person, distinguished from other animals or as classified

as the human species. A man is the most evolved being in this world, not only

because of our ability to talk, but also to be aware of our existence, which

allows us to think rationally and discover knowledge. When we learn to have a

grip of this awareness, our knowledge and wisdom expand, our ingenuity and

understanding also grow. Being more superior than animals due to these factors

gives us not only the grasp of nature but also the ways on how to conserve it

including all of the species. We have the ability to maintain or destroy the

balance and harmony of nature that other beings don’t have.

We also have the ability to adapt on the different kinds of situations

and also in environment. We have the capability to adjust on these

circumstances and find solutions that makes us survive for a long period of

time.

Another signs of being a real human are experiencing joy, love,

compassion, self-esteem, sense of belongingness, care for his fellow human

beings and the rest of the beings in the environment including both plants and

animals. Our ability to experience pain and understand one another is also a

factor that makes us human.
