the human condition

* {

condition: human

}

Gross. Intricate. Delicate.

Complex. Natural. Embarrassing.

Beautiful.

a mistake? a god?

We resent our humanness. We celebrate humanity.

We embrace it. We ignore its limits.

We display the human. We cover the condition.

The key to understanding. A wall of shame.

It keeps us at distance. By it we are united.

A language we share, but rarely speak aloud.

We hide.

From it. Behind it. In it.

We challenge and change it.

We overcome it.

We are beneath it, and it beneath us.

We live it. We share it.

The human condition.
