The Man and the Monster

Just something that was buzzing through my mind.

May 24, 2017.

The first dictionary definition of a man reads "a human being"....The societal definition of a man would beg to differ. Are we really human anyways? How much of a "man" must you be to be considered a human? I guess doing real man stuff such as not crying or being devoid of any real emotion qualifies me as human. What a sad way to live....knowing the only way you'll be accepted is if you're a lifeless drone.

The dictionary definition of a monster is "a very grotesque creature". That right there sounds more human than anything. We kill, we bash, we destroy, we ravage, and we don't care. Those are traits that describe a beast whose only aim in life is to piss himself a new territory. We take from each other, but swear that we're honest. We scoff at the less fortunate, but preach about how bullying is wrong. 

Long story short, the dictionary definitions of "man" and "monster" should  be swapped.
