Imagine for a moment that you are at a bustling city market.

The air is filled with the sense of fresh produce, spices, and the murmur of countless conversations.

Each stall that you pass showcases the life's work of the person behind the counter.

Bakers, farmers, artists, craftsmen all sharing a piece of their world with you.

Now here's the question. When you visit each stall, do you see just the role that they play in this connected thread of commerce and culture?

Or do you see the person behind the produce, the artist

behind the art? You see, this bustling market, with all of its colors and different stalls,

it's a great way to start thinking about today's topic of being simply human. I want to stay with this bustling market just for a moment.

If you think about it, each stall with its varieties of goods, they tell a story that is far beyond

transactions, right? It's not just exchanging money for something. Because behind every

handcrafted piece of jewelry, every loaf of bread, every painting, there's a set of

dreams and a path that's as unique to that person, right? That person who brings these creations to life.

Now, this market is not just a marketplace.

It's human stories woven together with passion, with perseverance,

and just the pure joy of creation.

I mean, imagine for a moment that you're speaking with a baker whose hands have shaped

dough in the early hours of the morning for decades.

On the surface, you see someone selling bread, but if you go a bit deeper, you might just

discover stories of a grandparents recipe that's

been passed down through generations or early mornings spent in the quiet anticipation

of the day of the pride when feeding a community.

It's in this interaction.
