Rich Mullins Intro to Higher Education and the Book
of Love Letras:
What does it mean to be human? What does it mean
to be human? I cannot help but suspect that at one
time in the history of thinking that people
believed that it meant that we were spiritual and
that we could make choices and were capable of
aspiring to higher ideals... like maybe loyalty or
maybe faith... or maybe even love. But now we told
by people who think they know, that we vary from
amoeba only in the complexity of our makeup and
not in what we essentially are. They would have us
think as Dysart said that we are forever bound up
in certain genetic reigns - that we are merely

products of the way things are and not free - not
free to be the people who make them that way. They
would have us see ourselves as products so that we
could believe that we were something to be made -
something to be used and then something to be
disposed of. Used in their wars - used for their
gains and then set aside when we get in their way.
Well, who are they? They are the few who sit at
the top of the heap - dung heap though it is - and
who say it is better to reign in Hell than to
serve in Heaven. Well, I do not know that we can
have a Heaven here on earth, but I am sure we need
not have a Hell either. What does it mean to be
human? I cannot help but believe that it means we
are spiritual - that we are responsible and that
we are free - that we are responsible to be free.
