Being human is living under a solid bell jar, but being able to move around freely within it. It is knowing how to play by the rules, yet it being okay to break it. Being human is being like one of the majority, but the one and only of the majority. It is when emotions are never wrong, but when certain emotions are just not quite right. It is the beautiful irony in being human. It is when the most complex creation of mind and body cannot configure every question. More often than not, it is natural to absorb the answers provided inside the bell jar. But being human is having the ability to rightfully challenge or sincerely adopt the answers as ones own.

Sandy: I liked how you showed The Bell jar influence. I would have liked to have seen a more concrete explanation...the written version seems more like a poem that a concrete representation of what it means to be human. Thanks for posting.
