Not being loved.  I think deep down, that is everybodies fear.  By nature humans are social creatures and being loved in the one thing that every body on this earth wants or strives for.

The meaning of Life is to help & sustain  each other humanbeing/ Life & make our living place a more happier than present status. Live & let live is the principle of LIFE.The goodness in each humanlife is personified as GOD. The soul of each person is devinepotential.Each person is having soul given by God, the Almighty.The God is omnipresent. Every humanbeing is a part of nature's creation.GOD is created by none,He is hidden in this world & also in your body like the plasurable warmth in the bathing water, like the sweetness of the fruit juice in tender plants,like the fragnance of flowers in their buds & like the love of a maiden i.e. her breasts & long hairs, in a female babe. There is a super power which controls the entire world order & happenings; this unseen super power is concieved by every humanbeing during his bad times & his misrease/distress & then he would try to  achieve for getting the eternal bliss i.e. 'MOKSH',(meaning getting freedom from re-birth & joining the super power/GOD for ever):

humans are mammals, which, yes, are animals.  humans are animals, and as such, fall prey to the same biological urges.  the main drive in life is procreation.  :)  life begets life and all that jazz.

Being what? Please clarify.

It should be that we're all human, but unfortunately for many it's their home or their religion. \nI think what's fundamental about us is that we're all human -- we have a lot in common, despite our differences, and our differences are our various ways of interpreting and expressing what is in fact common to all of us.

Humans are commonly referred to as human beings, people or persons, and collectively as man, mankind, humankind, humanity, or the human race. Until the 20th century, human was only used adjectivally ("pertaining to mankind"). As an adjective, "human" is used neutrally (as in "human race"), but "human" and especially "humane" may also emphasize positive aspects of human nature, and can be synonymous with "benevolent" (as opposed to "inhumane"; cf. humanitarian).\n\nIn general, the word people is a collective noun used to define a specific group of humans. However, when used to refer to a group of humans possessing a common ethnic, cultural or national unitary characteristic or identity, "people" is a singular noun, and as such takes an "s" in the plural; (examples: "the English-speaking peoples of the world", "the indigenous peoples of Brazil"). A distinction is also maintained in philosophy and law between the notions "human being", or "man", and "person". The former refers to the species, while the latter refers to a rational agent.

Self-awareness, consciousness, emotion can arguably be found in animals, and yet clearly, they are not human. So humanity is not as easily defined as the presence of a given set of traits.\nPersonally, I like the dictionary definition. A member of the species of Homo Sapiens. Going by that, unless your robot is activated via incubation by a human female for 9 months and expelled violently into the world soon thereafter, I won't be calling it human anytime soon.

Humans, or human beings, are classified as bipedal primates belonging to the mammalian species Homo sapiens (Latin for "wise man" or "thinking man") under the family Hominidae (the great apes).[1] Humans have a highly developed brain capable of abstract reasoning, language, and introspection. This, combined with an erect body carriage that frees their upper limbs for manipulating objects, has allowed humans to make greater use of tools than any other species of animal.\n\nLike most primates, humans are by nature social. However, humans are particularly adept at utilizing systems of communication for self-expression and the exchange of ideas. Humans create complex social structures composed of co-operating and competing groups, ranging in scale from nations to individual families, and social interaction between humans has established a variety of social norms, rituals, traditions, values, laws, and ethics which form the basis of human society. Humans also have an appreciation for beauty and aesthetics which, combined with the human desire for self-expression, has led to cultural innovations such as art, literature and music.\n\nHumans are also noted for their desire to understand and influence the world around them, seeking to explain and manipulate natural phenomena through science, religion, philosophy and mythology. This natural curiosity has led to the development of advanced tools and skills; humans are the only species to build fires, cook their food, clothe themselves, and use numerous other technologies. It has also led to the exploration of spiritual concepts such as the soul and deities, and has factored into the self-awareness of humans, leading to self-reflection and the development of distinct personalities.\n\nHumans are commonly referred to as persons or people, and collectively as man, mankind, humankind, humanity, or the human race. Until the 20th century, human was only used adjectivally ("pertaining to mankind"). As an adjective, "human" is used neutrally (as in "human race"), but "human" and especially "humane" may also emphasize positive aspects of human nature, and can be synonymous with "benevolent" (as opposed to "inhumane"; cf. humanitarian).\n\nIn general, the word people is a collective noun used to define a specific group of humans.

On the one hand, Humans ARE animals.\n\nOn the other, we are something "more" than animals because we are sentient and we are significantly more developed. Although all animals have SOME ability to communicate (even if only by stench), and many even know how to make tools, they are still incapable of the advanced feats of humanity.\n\nI suppose that it may by some slim chance be possible that animals are sentient, but I doubt it.
