Imagine a world where technology enables us to transfer traits from one animal to another, merging the best of both. If I could choose, I would select the qualities of an eagle. Eagles represent honesty, truth, majesty, strength, courage, wisdom, power, and freedom—attributes that humanity sometimes lacks. They see the world from a perspective we can only dream of.
What draws me to the idea of being an eagle? The ability to fly and view everything from a different angle captivates me. Imagine soaring to visit family whenever I wanted! Unfortunately, today, many people focus more on power and money than on honesty and truth. If everyone had just a bit of the eagle’s spirit and prioritized honesty, we could create positive change.
In this hybridized form, I wouldn’t want to lose my humanity entirely. A healthy combination of human and eagle traits would be ideal. I would cherish the eagle’s strength, honesty, courage, wisdom, power, and freedom, but I also want to retain the social connections, emotions, and intellect that define my humanity. For example, having wings would allow me to explore the world in a way that no human can. Traveling great distances in just hours and experiencing nature from a completely new viewpoint.
The question arises: how much of my human nature would I be willing to give up? I would say enough to embrace the eagle’s strengths and freedoms fully. These days, we are so restricted and often impose limits on ourselves where there may not even be any. If we had the opportunity to possess the characteristics of eagles, it might show us that there are no limits at all. It would push the limits of what’s possible and experiencing the world through a thrilling new lens.
This journey wouldn’t just be about gaining new abilities; it’s about reimagining what it means to live.
