Being human is both a privilege and a burden. You covered the spectrum Odel. Enjoyed it.

Nicely done.

Also, with all the admissions to being human, I wonder, are you covering for NOT being a human?

Odel Asseille's avatar

I haven’t thought about it, but I think being human and NOT being human is just a decision away

The line about “being human in narrow spaces” got me. Like, yeah, that exact cramped feeling where you’re trying to stay decent without turning into a doormat or a stone.
