Humanity

Warning: humans at play. 

Humanity. We are all in this together. Do we admire each other's humanity, or do we use it as evidence to compare ourselves- to make one greater or less than? Do we admire and respect "humanity" because we have empathy/relate/are inspired, or do we admire it  because we need to feel better about ourselves and witnessing the "human-ness" of someone else makes us feel better about our own "humanity?" And if that is the case, isn't "humanity" just another word for "less than?" Or are we really at that place where we can delight in the ugly and the beautiful with equanimity?
