Only Human

Compared to a God of infinite ability, it seems like limitations are a defining factor of the human experience. We spend a good deal of effort in life trying to overcome the impediments of our humanity; but what if, in doing so, we’re actually overwriting the parts of life that give it meaning? Instead of viewing our humanity as fundamentally flawed, what if we were created to embrace our limits in order to truly thrive?

Yet, isn’t there a point, where the more things we add to our lives, the more we diminish our quality of life? In our pursuit of a more meaningful life, are we actually emptying life of its richness and beauty?
