Humans have a tendency to ask complicated questions about life. As our lives progress, many of us ponder about the deeper meanings of the world that surrounds us. There are a myriad of tangible objects that have a concrete significance on Earth, but the importance of individuals is not as simple. If someone were to survey the question, “What does it mean to be human?” on the streets, it’s likely that there would be many answers to that one simple question. The human brain is unique to every individual and has different cognitive thoughts at different times. To be a man is different from being a woman, but both men and women have the ability of becoming artists. Our brains are capable of defining who an individual believes they should be in the world.
There is a very powerful quotation from the text, The Creative Impulse. It states that, “Our insistence on cognitive knowing may have already robbed us of some of our capacity for being human.” It is trying to explain that the realization of factual evidence is limiting our possible human potential. In the case of this text, human potential is referring to individual creativity. As humans, it is our duty to express individuality in the form of beauty. Everyone is capable of conveying their own identity and attempting to achieve full humanity.
People create for many different reasons, but one significant reason for creation is to express human emotion. Without intuition, there isn't much logical reason for people to live. As we reveal our true connections and feelings, we are fulfilling our responsibility of making a positive impact on the world. For full human potential, we need to be comfortable with revealing some of the strongest emotions like grief, fear, joy, trust and love. By welcoming others into our lives and accepting each other for being unique, full humanity might be able to be restored.
