Humanity

"We are humans of the world and we search for humanity." -Justitia

Am I humane? Am I lacking? My eyes turn skyward, at the sky enveloping us all, and yet...
Bitterness and grief can get the best of us, can leave us broken until we justify any and all actions that are inhumane. Where is my compassion, where then is my empathy? Like the shooting star our life briefly shines leaving little to show for our visit.

Love, sympathy, grief, and sorrow. The willingness to hold out a helping hand or the wisdom to refrain, profoundly a small fragment of what it means to be human.
