What It Means To Be Human

In my opinion, to be human is to know that diversity is beautiful. For years, there has been racism all around the world, which has created fights, hate, and years of torture. Being human means knowing that the differences among people are what make the world so interesting. I feel that being aware of this is what makes one human. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck and Jim are different ages, and different colors, which some may disagree with because they believe that Jim is only a slave and that is all he will ever be. However, they remain true to one another and go on adventures together regardless of the morals and beliefs society has imposed on them. I believe that in order to be a human, one must see the beauty in those who look different, and may even act or think differently than they do. Doing this will create a better world, allow society to get along better, and can help one find his own set of morals: as Huck discovered through his journey with Jim.
This panel shows two hands; each a different color, representing the many different colors that people have. There is a flower blooming in between the overlapping hands, which shows the beauty found when diverse people come together and live in harmony. The beauty is also represented by the bright colors surrounding the hands and the flower. If someone is not surrounded with diversity, life will be colorless and dull. Allowing diversity to surround you will bring joy and happiness.
