According to sources being human is a strength. Actor Salman Khan’s Being Human Foundation extols the idea of ‘positive’ human-ness by associating its very name and clothing line with charity and healthcare. Such acts of recognizing and celebrating human-ness must be expanded to other fields. What applies for a successful clothing brand that carries out charity via retail needs to be applied across the entrepreneurial board.
For the source of success remains the same is human intervention. Being human is also about being aware of the power that humans contain and then tap that immense potential. A glorious work of art, a technological breakthrough, a great dish these are, like acts of human kindness, causes de celebration, not causes celebrations.
When animals, or machines, are said to show ‘human-like’ qualities, human exceptionalism is highlighted. There is no reason why this should be tucked away and not flaunted and tapped when it comes to humans.
