Humanity


I miss my humanity.

It what makes us human after all.

And believe there are still goodnesses from people.

Bring back my humanity, I pray.

But is it perhaps a different kind of humanity—pneumatikoi.



"For things when they are past are not dead to us, but live and act upon our condition in a thousand ways. They live in memory and go to compose all our knowledge and experience and wisdom, and they affect us with repentance and remorse, or with joy and self-complacency, according to their character of good or ill: they prepare us for the present by the habits they engender and for that future by the resolutions to which they give birth."  
Edward Irving
