Human to Humane:
the Evolution

The journey from human being to being humane travelled through kindness and compassion.

It is believed that being born human is not in our control, but being humane is. It is a choice we make. Human being is made of flesh and blood but being humane constitutes  kindness, compassion, empathy and readiness to help. Such emotions and feelings must not limit to fellow humans only but towards animals, plants, nature and mother earth. Typically, humaneness and humanity are amplified in times of calamity – natural or manmade. However, it is not wrong to reach out to fellow beings in our normal day to day life as well. Being humane is usually considered antithesis to being successful and prosperous. One can always be successful and, in the process, help others succeed. Inclusiveness is a beautiful personality trait of the humane. Be it workplace or educational institutions, a warm smile and an encouraging word will foster a happy environment to work or study. In the process it enables individuals evolve from being human to being humane. 

Mahatma Gandhi’s quote sums it up – “The greatness of humanity is not in being human, but in being humane”.
