Why it's hard to be human

To be a good one, you have to be (and to raise a good one, you have to teach someone else to be):

Strong and gentle.

Proud and humble.

Enthusiastic and calm.

Fun and serious.

Bold and cautious.

Self-aware but not self-conscious.

Candid and discreet.

Discriminating and democratic.

Loyal (when it's called for).

Generous, but not to a fault.

Self-loving, but not self-worshiping.

Aggressive but not violent.

Intellectual and musical.

Good luck with all that.
