Opis

We're only human, or so we tell ourselves. Being human is often the go-to, catch-all reason for behavior we cannot otherwise explain or claim. Human nature is often given credit for both voluntary and involuntary choices we make. Is it possible that our nature is not as human as we suppose? Is there another part of us, not human, that wants to distance ourselves from the human things we do? Can we rightfully fault our human side for our foolishness? Can we praise the human in us for our brilliance? There is no question; we are human, but suppose we're more than that. What if the human part of us is more or less the expression of the being we really are. What would happen if the human part was at odds with that other being; or in harmony? Some of the most intense and painful battles that will ever rage will never be documented; never air on CNN. These battles are private and personal struggles. They are not mortal combat, but the collateral pain and devastation of defeat is real, as is the thrill and happiness of victory. We are never alone on these battle grounds. They are playgrounds for devils. Their games exploit the human factor of every battle, whether it is a minor skirmish or all out insurrection. Humans would do well to understand their nature at least as well as the devils do.
