The Constant Struggle to Be a Good Human Being

Finding food, shelter, and protection is only one half of how human beings work. Dopamine, produced by tangible outcomes, motivates us. However, it doesn't produce feelings of joy, safety, and love. Serotonin and oxytocin are responsible for those emotions. Being human is about maintaining the balance between these two halves. Humans have to work hard at being good at being human because we operate in a world that our bodies and systems were not designed for. In this modern age, we have to think about nutrition and how we should eat. Constant improvement requires working hard to be a good human being, being kind to others, and bringing them on the journey with us.
