Human Strength

The blog topic for this time is what I think the strongest thing about humans is. This may sound cliché, but in my opinion, the strongest thing about us humans is our tongues. I know this isn’t a strong muscle physically, and definitely not even close to that. The tongue is probably one of the weakest muscles in the entire physical human body. It is inferior to the biceps, triceps, and all the other muscles in the body physically, but the way it is stronger is that it can hurt other people much more then a kick in the face, or a punch in the groin area. Obviously this is not true for everyone because some people don’t have feelings and don’t care what people say about them, and in my opinion these people are the strongest types of people. Some people however, are hurt way more buy words and emotions rather than being punched or kicked. People may get physical scars from stitches of a flesh wound, but an emotional scar is much harder to heal on all levels. Not only is it so much harder to heal, it is concealed on the inside and it keeps damaging that particular person more and more. It isn’t a visible wound everyone can see and help them with, like bring them to the hospital when they need, but a scar and pain on the inside is hard and even invisible to most people, and this makes it so that it is hard for people to help out like find a therapist or something.

Another strength of the human tongue is that it gives us humans the great ability to talk and to speak and to communicate so much easier. We can make an endless number of different sounds meaning different things. Some examples are a tsk tsk sound meaning disapproval, or different types of whistling that could mean many things, or clicking our tongue to indicate something. Obviously, the greatest method of communicating with human tongues is speaking. We are given the ability to speak and thus can communicate and work with other people much more efficiently. We can talk and share ideas and share thoughts and work together as a group much more easily. This is probably the greatest strength of the humankind. We were able to build civilizations rather than other animals in the world most likely because other animals could not speak and communicate properly and work together. We humans, on the other hand have it much better. We can speak and say words to make things go faster. We share our ideas and take the good ones, and discard the bad ideas. We can make rules and talk and do so many different things with our tongues.

Our tongues also give us pleasure. Ofcourse in many different ways, one obviously being the ability to taste delicious foods with our tastebuds. This is great, it makes life so much nicer. We are able to enjoy our food like ice cream, chips, cookies, and all that delicious junk food. They are unhealthy, but our tongue and tastebuds make it so enjoyable. Another maybe not so obvious pleasure of the tongue is kissing! That’s probably better than eating delicious foods, maybe.

So the greatest strength of the human being is that we have a tongue. The tongue gives us the ability to speak, to communicate, and to trade ideas and has made human civilization so successful as it is today. The tongue also lets us taste our food and gives us pleasures!
