Human

To be human is to err or as Alexander Pope would have it: "to err is human."
Life presents one with challenges often too hard to pass, sometimes leading one to forget his/her own dignity and most times causing a certain weakness.
To be human is to be weak, not always, only at times when one feels that being week is actually just a facade serving for a bigger, more hidden purpose.
Sometimes we are [stupid] because we let our emotions drive our actions and then we act out of immediate impulse - it makes perfect sense to us because we justify it as being something necessary for us to do or else the world will end, sadly those around us view it all differently.
If we do not get the response we envision in our head (you know - when we plan it in our minds and expect the outcome to be favorable for us) then we immediately feel reject, remorse and regret. Then perhaps we move on so far as to blame those who made us feel this way not realizing that we imposed ourselves on them and demanded they take part in our plan we concocted in our heads.
We hope we forget the time we acted out of impulse, we hope it will never be remembered by us or the other parties involved, we eventually put it past us and then we move on...  unknowingly we are most likely planning our next grand scheme.

To be human.
