The Human Experience


Life is something you cannot define with a specific set of words. Too each his own, a perfect sentence to define the fact that can encompass the entire human experience.  Life is simple. It can be everything and nothing, just depends on what the person wants it to be. Life is nothing more than the human experience.

The Human Experience something we have to be proud of.  The Human experience is nothing more than a series of events and various conflicts. It is like a screenplay. The human experience is controlled by the human conscience. The purpose of the human conscience is not to figure out right or wrong but its primary function is to weigh out the logical solution to every conflict.  The conflict here is anything that comes between you and your interests. The Conscience has its constraints. It has restrictions such as desire, lust, envy and regret. These restraints often create the conflict in the first place. Sometimes they can also resolve the conflicts.

Contemplation of life is not that tough. Life can be an exercise, a chore, a punishment, a test or it can be one big party. Enjoying every moment is the key. It is very simple for one to understand the fact of the human experience and that is that every action has an opposite but gigantic reaction. “Equal“ nonsense was just said to not make the reality seem less scary. Because if there is no action, there will be no reaction, no reaction, no conflict. No conflict, no solution. No solution, no experience. Throughout the years people have had different understanding of this experience. They have managed to keep accounts of their understanding of these experiences. These accounts could be in the form of books, art, music, poetry, movies etc.

Many such experiences have been remembered as a guideline for living. This has formed history, which is used as referential to form new experiences. Some parts of our history could have been difficult to read about or watch for e.g. WW2 or The Holocaust. However that is a matter of perception. One can’t really say that Hitler was a Devil or Mother Theresa was an Angel. Even though Hitler was not the ideal leader that we look for, he unified an entire nation and captured half of Europe. See at some, level that is an achievement. Who would have guessed a postman would create so much havoc in Europe. These people only do what they do because their interests are on a communal or social level.

Our ideals on an individual level are very primitive, but on a larger- social or communal level our ideals and culture is completely different. That is that our culture is more complex and refined. This creates tremendous amount of conflict in us as individuals and as a being of a society or community. Thus in-order to have the complete Human experience we go through a renaissance, which will help us find our true culture and our true identities as human beings. Enjoy your human experience, cause you cant really live forever. even through "literature".
