I AM A HOMO…

I am a homo…a man.
And man, as seen generally, is…

A homo viator…
A man on journey.
Journey of life.
Through its ups and downs, successes and falls, happiness and sadness…
In short, everything.

A homo faber…
A man on work.
Work of life.
Working to live for self, working to live for other people, working for life..

A homo socialis…
A man on society.
Society of man.
A man living in a society of those similar to him…
Sharing the same life, even if there are different dreams, aspirations, or state of living..

A homo sapiens…
A man of thought.
Thought given by God to use well
To think, to decide, to feel, to live…

Man is a compendium or collection of all these, and so much more…But, are we…really?

“Good, philosophically defined, is that which acts or is acted upon according to its essence, and thus fulfilling its essence.”

Are we fulfilling our essence? If not, we can be rightly called animals, right?

Just a thought…
