Humanity

The human race

The human race: This phrase represents all human beings collectively – it does not discriminate between one race and another, one class and another or  one gender and another. It represents ALL humans living on this planet. This phrase  unites all of us together, it shows us that we are part of ONE race and no one is superior or inferior to another. It teaches us to treat everyone the same because we're all part of the same breed, because all of us are descended from Adam and Eve. No one human can treat another inferior because of their culture, way of dressing, way of living, place of living, colour of skin or the background they come from. But can we, in today's world, say that humanity stands for the same thing, that it means the same thing? No, we can not. In today's world the human race is no longer thought of as one, we are divided into countless groups, classified as some sort of species, differentiated due to our ethnicity, culture, wealth etc. Is that really what human race stands for? We group animals as a certain type, they are the ones labeled for their characteristics and classified accordingly. So why are we treating ourselves the way we treat animals? Why are we letting go of each other to prove that one person is better than the other? Why are we creating these differences between us? Because we are not united anymore and we do not understand the human race the way our foregathers did or the way they would want us to. If we see anyone acting uniquely and unlike the others, we do not open our minds to the possibility that they could be divergent and we label them as something which they would be ashamed of in order to turn them into what our view of the perfect human is or expel them from the society. This is not the human race. This is not humanity.
