Suppose you wanted to send a probe out into the galaxy with a note describing man to any non-human that happened to read the note. How would you describe what it is that makes man man?

The first thing you would have to do is tell them the difference from man and WOMAN!!!!. We are an interesting species with much diversity among us. We are often very generous but there are many times that greed gets in the way of that generosity. We are always in search of new ideas and solutions to problems. Some are considered Holy while some are considered evil. We have warmongers and peacekeepers. We have many that hide their selves from the responsibility of living in a community and simply live within their own small family circle, while others do the most they can to improve the quality of life for all. We have many great artist, scientist, philosophers, teachers and many more categories that are there to make our life’s better. We have huge libraries and museums all over the world, full of wonderful information that tells about us in many different ways. The two things that all people have in common are love or the desire for it. Curiosity comes in next. I think if there were life elsewhere in our universe they would enjoy knowing and learning about us as we are an interesting species.

An absolute determination to evil combined with a touching desire to do good, which has somehow saved the species from extinction so far.

Self-aware to the point of conceit.
Aware of universal rights enough to enjoy ignoring them.
Fears one's own death to the point of prolonging their own at the expense of another's.
Sorry, in a cynical mood today.

In each human heart are a tiger, a pig, an a.s.s, and a nightingale; diversity of character is due to their unequal activity.

we have the ablility to destroy ourselves and not even know were doing it.
We foucs more on ourselves, and what "we" want, until faced with the possiblity of death, and the slap of reality forces us to see what "is really important".
That is "man".

A man is a MALE, who takes care of his FAMILY financially and emotionally. He takes RESPONSIBILITY for his actions and LOVES the people that love him. He always knows that GOD is there and is listening to him.
