Humans Are Magnificent

Humans are magnificent. I cannot seem to fathom these beings in any meaningful way. Granted, there is science, religion, mythology, theoretical ideas that we (as humans) have used to better our understanding of not only ourselves, but our world. Although if you stop for a minute to look at said humans, we are more than that. We are more than brain waves and blood cells. We are more than servants of the Lord and beings created by Zeus. We are more than the unicellular plankton exploring our seas. But we are no more than the animal that slab of pork meat once was that our neighbors have placed on their expensive dinning room tables. 
We are nothing. 
We are more. 
All we are is human. 
Magnificent and unfathomable humans.
