Human: Complex, Blessed, Accursed Hybrids

No matter how successful we ever become, a large part of our personhood remains quite ordinary. That inescapable ordinariness is not something to rail against, or seek to root out. Indeed, it is so entwined in our DNA that extricating it is impossible. We have to just live with it and make the best of it. Our ordinariness is God's blessed anchor that ties us down to earth, so that the balloon of our lives does not just flit hither and yon. Our ordinariness can be our means of staying linked with and sympathetic towards others humans. Our ordinariness keeps us living here and now on terra firma. Our ordinariness grants us the vista over everyday reality. Our ordinariness keeps us humble and practical, not grandiose, snooty or puffed up, feeling above everyone else about. Intertwined with this permeating ordinariness is our latent or exercised property of displaying great skill and artistic beauty. This show of extradordinariness does not surprise the few among us that make living in and being extraordinary a constant state of personal existence. The divine spark radiates out of us. We are this curious mixture of the ordinary and extraordinary. It is our burden. It is our opportunity. When we handle it well and willingly, we edge towards the spiritual state of great-souledness, that moderate balance whereat doing good and being talented takes our difficult blended nature and makes struggling with it worth it.
