What does it mean to be human?

Tertio modo inest homini inclinatio ad bonum secundum naturam rationis quae est sibi propria . . . utpote quod homo ignorantiam vitet, quod alios non offendat cum quibus debet conversari (Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, 1a2ae. q.94, art.2).

In brief: don't be ignorant, be polite.
