As I read the story We are ugly but we are human I began thinking about whether we have the right to still call ourselves human. However it could just be my idea of a human that is false. Women are raped, abused, hit, forced to sleep with their brothers or fathers, is this how we should treat each other?I believe we are different from animals because we have feelings and one of the most important is compassion. That's our humanity. But I don't see animals killing each other and fighting or doing wrongdoings to their neighbors. In the story people were treated like animals no worse they were killed, beat up, tortured. So I wonder do we still maintain the right to call ourselves human if we're losing our humanity?
How is it possible for a person to treat another human being so badly? Do they not have family, sisters, mothers, fathers? I think we may have lost ourselves and the way we can find ourselves is by retrieving our humanity. By making enemies friends by working together. We need to change the way we view ourselves and the people around us if we want suffering to end. Nobody should ever be abused or mistreated. It is because we can love that we are different for animals now we have to make use of that gift.
