Summary:Our uniqueness as human beings does not consist merely in possessing a rational nature, but in constantly and consciously exercising it in order to arrive at intelligent decisions and ensuing actions. This gives a humane face to whatever we are and whatever we do.

It is not a one-time action, but an all-encompassing and ever-continuous phenomenon covering every moment and dimension of human life, pointing to the dynamism that is integral to our nature.
