hu·man·i·ty


(h)yo͞oˈmanədē/

noun

noun: humanity; plural noun: humanities

 

  1. the human race; human beings collectively.

I am one amongst many, a being apart of a larger group.

We each have our own place amongst society.

One specific area to flourish, and display our skills.

I hope to never lose my place in society.


 

  1. humaneness; benevolence.

I hope to be kind.

Even when my enemies wishes to tear me to shreds.

Or when I'm forced to choose between my survival and theirs.

I hope to have the strength to be-

Kind.


 

  1. learning or literature concerned with human culture, especially literature, history, art, music, and philosophy.

Gathering lessons from each subject, allowing me to hold onto to my humaneness.

I will use these subjects in order to connect to other from around the world.

There will be happiness, sadness, life and death in my pursuit.

Hopefully, I will never have to live without my humanity.
