Great verb and lyrical description of the human condition!

But once you descend from your meditative bliss, you remember that people have different ways of humaning. Some of them human by lording over others. Some of them human by building empires.

Some of them human by telling stories. Some of them human by wallowing in other peoples’ stories.

Some of them human by giving themselves dreams and a purpose.

Let them human, then. Living in illusions is part of humaning. Making others suffer is part of humaning. Let them human.

But no. you go on your mission to awaken people to their illusions, to crack the matrix....

Because there are right and wrong ways of humaning.

And there are right and wrong ways of awakening people to true humaning.
