The HUMAN Project
=teaphotography
reports, July 15
reports, July 15THE HUMAN PROJECT
When I was a child, I used to say: “What if every single person in the world could be nice, then the world would be a much better place.” Such out-loud thoughts were always met by adults in my life, with responses like: “Life is just not that simple...” or “You’re too idealistic...” etc.
I learned early on, what “idealistic” meant. Perhaps they were right, and perhaps life really IS not that simple. Yet, why can’t it be?
Why can’t it begin with a choice for each person whether or not to be mean and bitter OR kind and helpful, even despite some individual terribly awful unfair experiences. We’ve all had them, to some degree or another- though there could be less IF there were more nice people... but naturally sad things occur, too- but again with more nice people, the more we can help out during times such as, naturally occurring disasters and various loss.
But it is a choice. For many, it is a conscious effort to choose “kind and helpful” -
I remember when I came back to the choice later in life after going through a period in dealing with some very excruciatingly difficult challenges, and feeling deeply unhappy with life and people. I’ve been bitter and jaded to say the least...
A person can sometimes get to the point where they are as if a very tight flower bud, that remains so closed in its bud, the risk of never blossoming becomes greater and greater.
Despite the fact there are still certain challenges I face daily, there was that time to choose. Sometimes I choose each day. I’ve even chosen more toward that idealistic side of things.
[ There’s that word again!
].
I think it’s always been a part of me, even deep down. I’ve voiced that same childhood sentence again in recent years, just to gauge reaction! And the responses usually remain the same, just different adults. I wonder what would happen if I voiced it to some kids.
*************
The HUMAN Project may’ve been been born from a place of idealism. I believe that at the very least idealism can be a highly motivating factor toward the pursuit of at least a noble and worthy direction. Basically, I have a passion for compassion. I have always dreamed and desired so intensely for human beings to get along better, on many levels, and all over, from those closest to me, citizens of my own hometown, country, and abroad. The feeling is equally close to home as it is world-wide.
I became interested, from an artistic standpoint, in researching and seeking out deviations which depicted a wide range of age, race, background, and culture. Likewise, I wanted a range of close-up faces depicting a variety of the emotions which humans share in common, as well as humans from a distance, to evoke curiosity in what they might be thinking or feeling, and other parts of the human to show human form in its most physical, to remind us all of what is similar as well as different. Additionally, other parts of the body can sometimes show expression, as in body language.
Some deviations divulge a diversity of humans working, playing, engaging in hobbies, sports, or resting, sleeping, or seemingly doing nothing... though nothing is often something. I think at least most people partake in some range of these life experiences.
For all intents and purposes The HUMAN Project is meant to be a celebration of Human Beings, even if in some instances it may not appear to be. We should acknowledge where strides have been made in areas of love and compassion for our fellow-Humans.
We should always note the positive.
However, to be realistic, it is definitely equally notable, that we still have so much work to do. It would be nice if we were a lot further along by now. Yet, it is what it is. I guess I really just hope that one day we truly will indeed be further along.
I just feel that as of yet, Humans on the Whole, have not yet learned how to harness the beauty and power of our magnificent differences and to channel these great collective aspects and facets, to work in favourable and constructive terms for Humans. Human Beings as a Group, have not yet fathomed the strengths and benefits in such diversity- diversity in all its forms.
Uniqueness is an amazing thing...
Yet, it is also quite a wonderment with what we all have in common, as well. Maybe people might first focus on all that is truly universal. That could be a compassion-breeding eye-opener.
I believe what could make Human Beings, together, potentially improve our shared race, is the realization that we need to celebrate and collaborate with both our differences and our commonalities.
Without Further Ado...
PART I:
"Human beings are more alike than unalike, and what is true anywhere is true everywhere, yet I encourage travel to as many destinations as possible for the sake of education as well as pleasure."
~Maya Angelou
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
~Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 1963
PART II:
"I can't understand what makes a man [person] hate another man [person]..."
~lyrics to People are People by Depeche Mode
"You can't shake hands with a clenched fist."
~Indira Gandhi
"When the power of love, overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."
~Jimi Hendrix
Part III:
"The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only object of government."
~Thomas Jefferson
“If you are motivated by loving kindness and compassion, there are many ways to bring happiness to others right now, starting with kind speech.”
~Thich Nhat Hanh
PART IV:
“You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one,
I hope someday you'll join us, And the world will live as one.”
~lyrics to Imagine by John Lennon
“Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength.”
~The 14th Dalai Lama
PART V:
“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.”
~The 14th Dalai Lama
“The realization that we are all basically the same human beings who seek happiness and try to avoid suffering, is very helpful in developing a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood- a warm feeling of love and compassion for others.”
~The 14th Dalia Lama
ENCORE!!!- PART VI
“I truly believe that compassion provides the basis of human survival.”
~The 14th Dalai Lama
Please remember this is not my project. It is "THE" Project, or better yet, "OUR" Project. I could not have done the artist side of things without the magnificent art created by all the artists participating in this project. But MORE and hopefully BEYOND... this is EVERYONE'S and ANYONE'S Project. It is for anyone who partakes in these ideals, and currently makes, or begins to make them realities in their individual lives, finding ways to better our existence. It is for a way of life.
It is for all people. It is for humans of The HUMAN Project.
I want to thank everyone who helped make this Project even possible, through your creations, through your comments in my journals as each part was presented, through your astounding support, encouragement, and enthusiasm. It could not have been done without all.
SPECIAL Thanks
Special thanks goes to ~AfricanObserver
who has art included here, but who supported and promoted The HUMAN Project on his journal, chronologically, right along with each featured part to this Project, with my own journal. What wonderful and generous help!
