What it Means to Be Human



To me what it mean to be human is finding your niche or place in life. The fish in the water presents the question, "Are you a big fish in a small pond or a small fish in big pond?" Finding out what you are good at and trying out new things and the perception in which go about doing this all refelect what it means to be human. The sun represents the light that you are to the world. A divine being who illuminates those around them and can serve as a role model to whoever looks up to them. Marianne Williamson's quote best explains the use of the sun (link http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Marianne_Williamson). The clouds represent the vast interpretations we have of the world. When we look up at a cloud we ask, "What do you see" and are different opinions shape what we are and the individuality that makes us human.

Ben: Literary influences? Pretty brief. I like the big fish, small fish metaphor though. Thanks for posting.
