Intro To Higher Education And The Book Of Love lyrics

What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be human? I cannot help but
suspect that at one time in the history of thinking that people believed that
it meant that we were spiritual and that we could make choices and were capable
of aspiring to higher ideals... like maybe loyalty or maybe faith... or maybe
even love. But now we told by people who think they know, that we vary from
amoeba only in the complexity of our makeup and not in what we essentially are.
They would have us think as Dysart said that we are forever bound up in certain
genetic reigns - that we are merely products of the way things are and not free
- not free to be the people who make them that way. They would have us see
ourselves as products so that we could believe that we were something to be
made - something to be used and then something to be disposed of. Used in their
wars - used for their gains and then set aside when we get in their way. Well,
who are they? They are the few who sit at the top of the heap - dung heap
though it is - and who say it is better to reign in Hell than to serve in
Heaven. Well, I do not know that we can have a Heaven here on earth, but I am
sure we need not have a Hell either. What does it mean to be human? I cannot
help but believe that it means we are spiritual - that we are responsible and
that we are free - that we are responsible to be free.
