We are just Humans

Often, we hear the phrase "We are just humans." This expression tends to come up when we lose our temper, succumb to temptation, make mistakes, struggle to forgive others, or when we decide to give up. In these situations, we use the phrase to justify our behaviour.

However, when others exhibit similar flaws, we tend to react differently. We label those who lose their temper as barbaric, those who make mistakes as careless, those who give in to temptation as lacking self-control, those who refuse to forgive as inhumane, and those who give up as losers.

Though the situations are the same, we tend to excuse our shortcomings while harshly judging others for theirs. It raises a question: either we should acknowledge that we are not simply humans, or we should recognize that others are indeed just humans. Regardless of the viewpoint we adopt, we would be justified in our stance.

Alternatively, they may bring up personal emotions, like health or family issues. These reactions often occur while the other person is still speaking, leading to a decreased understanding and an increased eagerness to defend one’s position. During this type of conversation, the listener may appear restless, exhibiting a lack of eye contact or head nodding. In such interactions, th...
