Every bad thing that can happen to beings has happened to them. This is called the Human Condition, because no single human being experiences these things in isolation.

They invented music and dance to express their joy in existence, and to praise higher beings if such exist. - - - - - - - - -An analysis of human condition - - - - - A great write.

AND they aka humans have also invented gods/goddesses (i think most will now agree) , including the Christian God, and invented WAR, and tools, including weapons, and machines, including vehicles! ! ! ! and laws, dams, fences, countries, recipes, clothing, medicines, etc. etc., some of which have improved and others perhaps which have diminished the human condition.

(cont.) ...and........Gilgamesh? ? ? more Googling! ! Gilgamesh was a historical king of the Sumerian city-state of Uruk, a major hero in ancient Mesopotamian mythology. so not really a 'true human', but a mythological human? // stanza 4 is the most interesting one for me so far, though it doesn't answer any questions for me.

The thoughts of angels and men in this poem invite much reflection. I wonder if intervention from a higher race would significantly improve or destroy our world. I also felt a swell of pride of being a part of the great human race and evolving with the benefits of new technology. Humans are so creative and so smart.
