Yoga and Human Being


Back to the Main Page

Yoga promotes a more human self care and life style.

What "Human" does mean?:

- Compassionate?
- Sympathetic?
- Kind?
- Benevolent?
- Generous?

Or perhaps...:
Any animal of the family Hominidae.
A higher animal.
A not angel or superhuman being; pertaining to the sphere or faculties of man (with implication of limitation or inferiority in relation to Gods); mundane; secular. (Often opposed to divine). For some "human" means un- Godly.
Characteristic of humanity or relating to a person.
Belonging to mankind; having the qualities or attributes of a man; pertaining to the race of man; with human voice; human shape and human nature.
Manlike means: like man, or like a man, in form or nature; having the qualities of a man, esp. the nobler qualities. Human being is by nature humanitarian. Humanitarian is defined philanthropist and with morality common to human beings. Because of it, to humanize oneself means to become soft and benign.

For some, the term "human being" implies fatigue, exhaustion, shedding sweat, hard work, trading the sweat of one's brow for food and pleasures. It is the honest exchanging of the sweat of one's brow for things one needs. It means striving, persevering, working to get things one wants honesty and fairly, this is what it is to be a human being for them, a condition of habitual fatigue. ".

When one calls oneself "human being":
One considers oneself as a...
person
individual
someone
somebody
mortal soul
homo
man
human
A member of genus "homo"
Perhaps a kind of animal under the Law of nature?, (Do we understand Nature Laws as opposed to supernatural or spiritual?)

A human being- - without regard to sex, legitimacy, or competence. This person is the central figure in human law. Human being is judged by personal attributes of mind, intention, feelings, weaknesses, morality, rights and duties. This is the human, sometimes called an individual, and often referred to in the law as a natural person, as distinguished from an artificial person.

Examples with "human":
"human beings"
"human nature"
"the human body"
"human kindness"
"to miss is human"
"he has turned more human"

Today, every human being has a right to life:
Is every human embryo a person?
Is every human embryo a human being?
Is every human embryo a homo sapiens?
If from begining to end every human animal has a right to life we have some ideas to ask about: from where this right comes?, in wich of our atributes has is right rooted?. .
What about non- human animals? Because there are non- human animals. Do they too have a right to life? Having a right to life just in virtue of being of a particular species like human seems to be partial, interested and against love.
If we say that an entity has a right to life because it is of a particular species - - human in this case- - then we are engaging in the moral equivalent of racism; namely, specieism: "my species lives and kills the others" being it a not very much human thought because the contrary to human is: cruel, atrocious, merciless, ruthless, nonhuman, inhuman, inhumane.

It can be said that the human being seems to have two natures: 1. - One that it is deep, inactive, unchanging 2. - Other that it is superficial, active, mutable. Yoga can be the study and harmony between both of them.
