A couple days ago my friends and I were outside reminiscing about a party we had a bit ago. Amidst our discussions we started talking about how I took a bottle to the face during the night. It's a long story really but, I was laying on the floor talking to someone and had a bottle slam against my mouth, which caused it to bleed a decent amount. Well I simply got up, went to the bathroom and spat the blood out. Apparently while spitting it out I began to laugh and say, "That's what fuels me!" Which, in typical party manner, due to the inebriation of those around myself made it sound hilarious. I didn't think anything about it at the time yet when it was brought up again during this reminiscent discussion I actually began to ponder it greatly. Human beings are nothing but an organism.

One thing that human beings always seem to suffer from is this disconnection from our natural existence. We are only mammals, mutli-cellular organisms. We may indeed be filled with a great intelligence which sets us apart from the various other species that inhabit this world yet, we should not distance ourselves so much as to forget what we are; skin and bone. It is simple to think we are on a whole different playing field than the other creatures, I can attone for this yet, we are mortal beings, we are not Gods. I had forgotten this concept of being a human. It took a beer bottle to the face and a sink full of blood to bring me back down to earth. I guess what I am trying to say is that when you believe you really are more than human, or at least forget this concept of mortality, get hit in the face with a bottle. Worked for me and I can say for damn sure it should work for you.
