(I’m thinking of ways that either 1. the album THC made you reflect differently on what it means to be human, or, as another form of response, 2. what you believe it means to be a human?)

- I always wondered and just chalked random things up to it, ahhh this happened over here or that over there, thats just the condition of being human essentially. But later in life I've started to accept that the human condition is just being flawed. All of us are flawed in this fallen world and we cant ever live up to who we really want to be in our fleshly minds, the human condition is the flaw you carry whatever that is. Most of the time its many everchanging flaws.
- Flawed. But if lived correctly, you handed the control over to God, you put Yah back in control, and now you'll really feel that line "what if who I hoped to be was always me", because it always is

- I think the album itself opened my eyes wider to the idea that a core component of being human is to feel. Regardless of if we deem the feeling desirable or revulsive, we have the ability to decode an experience down to the emotion or sensation it creates. Sometimes we respond to life in ways that are congruent with our values, and other times we do not.
- From this launch pad, I think I have learned through my own studies that suffering is a major part of the condition of being a human. Even if the feeling is not preferred, it is something we have the capacity to experience. Therefore, it is our responsibility to figure out how suffering factors into our day-to-day/week-to-week/life-to-death, and do what makes sense in spite of it.

@magnoliawhites yes man suffering is so huge, figuring out the right way to trade it for worthwhile things when you can is key great take

being human is a million things. i think its just whatever you make of it. thats what makes being a human so fun because it is everything you make of it. Humans can be amazing but also not so amazing.

this is gonna sound crazy, but the human condition reminds me of manifesting tbh. like yes, we exist, but so much bigger things exist through us and it's ok to not ALWAYS know the answers as long as you still believe in something, even if you can't physically SEE what that something and having faith that things will work out however you assume they will
