Are you a human being or an object?


- Hello, what are you doing? — I am making a list of things around here. — So why are you including me in it? I am a human being, not an object. -And who told you that? You are an object! — …How is this possible?

-Alright then tell me, what is an object? A thing which is controlled by others, right?! It can’t act on its own For example, a fan, which can function only when switched on Or the television; when you switch it on, its on, or else its off!

…Are you any different? If someone pleases you, you are happy and if someone passes a comment, you become upset You’re on cloud 9 when loved And if someone breaks your heart, you just sink into a dark abyss Now tell me, are you a human being or an object?

-Yes, you’re right. But then tell me, who is a human being? -A human being is the one who is not influenced by other’s actions, words or opinions; But is a master of his own! -Yes, I got the point. Now, let someone try and upset me!
