Circle of Life below is a depiction of what Humanness is all about in the Fullness of Life
Earthy Realities
“Humans live anywhere between 26, 000 to 30,000 days i.e., 70 to 85 years.
One fourth/fifth/sixth of this is Sleep, not to speak of the other understandable time wastages!
The First “9000” days are growing up, groomed and subconsciously conditioned: Home, Family, Friends, Environs, Technology Media, Expectations, Comparisons with those who we think are better than us.
The Next “18000 to 19000” days are on work- career, domesticity, Challenges- Opportunities, Parenting, Caring for Parents/elders, illness and the humdrum activities of dealing with daily ‘Ups & Downs’.
This is the Golden Period of Humanness. It teaches humans that ‘Life is invaluable while death is inevitable”
The Last “3000” days are salvation and getting ready in Spirit, Mind and thought to await our last breath! Contemplative Reflection in Gratitude & Self-Respect.
The Days in our Living lets us know that there are infinite opportunities in this finite time.
Horizons of Humanness, Heights of Imagination, Depths of Intelligence, the Width of Human “reach & touch” are on display across the span and spectrum of Discoveries, Inventions, Planetary Explorations, Medicine, Science and Technology frontiers.
Humanness:
Humanness is our Strengths, Weaknesses, Capabilities, Vulnerabilities in our day to day living.
Ambivalence and Perceptions on “Aspiration – Ambition: “Fulfillment- Success”
Our Persona! and how it comes into Play with all other Humans with whom we are close at home and at Work.
“Contentment – Craving” and its effect on our Thoughts, Feelings, Behaviour, Actions.
Realization that Humans have to be “Sensibly Selfish to become Strong to able to be Sublimely Selfless to “Serve’ others.

The Art & Science of Learning to laugh at ourselves, enjoying our small wins, enduring tough times, in awareness that Laughter is medicine, forgiving our self and others is therapy.
Our Self Respect, and Sense of Gratitude is directly proportional to the value and worth of belonging to our Self.
The Ultimate Humanness Question, we need to Ask of our Self:
“Are we “Alive, Living Alive” or Walking Dead”?
In most cases, there is awareness, but without the conscious urge to change within, towards cognition of realities. Only then readers like you can understand the subtleties of “Alive to Live Alive” or “Live while ‘Walking’ Dead”
This then leads us to explore the Conscious Dimensions of our “FEED:

Practical application of ‘Expertise’ implies planning and doing something according to one’s ability and area of expertise.
Its effective utilization depends on person to person as an essence of Presence.

Energy is the bridge between Freedom, Expertise and Devotion
Devotion

Commentary
Freedom – Expertise – Energy – Devotion are mutually enriching. One feeds of the other. This the philosophy of Self Actualization.
