There really is not"mean" to being human. People just need to accept one anothers differences. the point of living is to live life. If humans can learn to accept that, the world would be a better place to live. I guess that answers the question. to be a human is to live life and enjoy it.

To live a life not for ourselves and things. But to accpet Jesus into our hearts and live for Him. To live to help others, serve Jesus and enjoy the hourney! the government doesn't get to decide for me :)
To be yourself

To be self sware enought to accept that God is dead. That we are left alone to drift in the infinite darkness of our own mortality. To recognize that the only meaning in life is whatever you do that keeps you from killing yourself.
God created us to be different that all other creation. the best thing in life is to be Human!
The option to choose. Other species do not have that option.
To sing + make music!
Gotta catch em all!
to know you life :)-Ashley Grant
