Sentience

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect. 

     When I think of the word sentience or sentient human beings, I can infer some type of characteristics from science fiction, or futuristic qualities that reveals the superior qualities of human beings, especially with the development of artificial intelligence. But the truth is that philosophers / thinkers have been interested in the idea / concept of sentience throughout the ages. Of course the ideas have evolved as the human capacity to understand more has gained ground. With the help of technological advancements, science and the arts. We can even think about how the word is itself defined:

Oxford Dictionary Definition

Merriam-Webster Dictionary

     How the word source is defined by two different dictionaries also reveals how the word, idea, concept of sentient / sentience is viewed in two different countries, American and the UK. This also speaks to the state of human evolution, social progress and macro-demographics within nations. However; we can gather from the definitions the superior qualities of humans. The ability to sense, feel, think. The human consciousness.  We do desire to fulfil our survival needs. We also desire to achieve, through what we could call the strife of aspirations. However, our actions will always begin with what is thought, conceived and received. Which is why I would argue that what is unseen is as important as what is seen, hence; the actions that we take, initialized by thought. However, both are important as each other, as they are each derivatives of the soul.
