What is a Person?


What is a rose that smells so sweet? With the beauty of its openness, the sadness of its closing. The thorns on the outside to give it a defense. The delicate petals that fall off at a touch. What is an onion with its smell that makes you cry? With its very hard outer layer to keep everything in. Its many layers on the inside, going from hard to soft, until you reach the inner core, the very essence of its being. What is a person? How do you find the right words to describe each and everyone? To look at each human as one. Each and every person, different and yet same. Like and onion and a rose, just called by different names.
