Despite all the achievements of civilisation, the human being is still one of the most vulnerable creatures on earth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Because of the inherent challenges of life on the earth, all of humanity is vulnerable. This is all the more reason to seek the kingdom of heaven within and find the peace that leads to understanding.
It's true that the human body is more vulnerable than the products of the human mind.
Humans are remarkable: the first species in almost four billion years of life on earth that dominates the biosphere. This gives us the power, in principle, to build societies in which everyone flourishes. But it also creates great dangers because it is not clear that we really understand how to use our potentially devastating powers.
Humans are vulnerable and rely on the kindnesses of the earth and the sun; we exist together in a sacred field of meaning.
Mankind has probably done more damage to the Earth in the 20th century than in all of previous human history.
There's monsters in all of us, but there's also vulnerability.
We humans are the greatest of earth's parasites.
Human-caused climate change threatens almost every aspect of human existence.
Human beings are remarkably resilient. When you think about it, our species has been teetering upon the edge of the existential cliff since Hiroshima. In short, we endure.
Human nature is not nearly as bad as it has been thought to be.
