Well, I'm a human male with access to the internet.
I’ve wondered to myself, “What inherently human characteristic draws us together in times of loss?” There is something… something within every human being that is held in common with his neighbor. This is the manner in which man chooses to face his shortcomings. It is the method in which we deal with pain. Instead of facing head-on what so deeply hurts us, we instead hide behind distractions, escapes, and our own personal vices. Is this human nature or is it destined to become our downfall? I urge everyone to stop for a moment. Take a look at what you are up against. We live in constant fear of the unknown, but how can the unknown ever be known if we never face it? What is there to lose, when faced with such uncertain circumstances, that gives us so much fear that we are pushed to the breaking point? I know loss. I know fear. I know that I avoid facing the harsh truth of both of these things. Am I a coward or simply human? Do I deserve to be swept away by my iniquities or have I been placed in this world to overcome them?
