I'm giving it a try for about the first time - I mean a real try, really
attempting to "get into" being human and to experience the place the way
the humans do.

It's most definitely a challenge. Not that it's so harsh - believe you me,
humans don't yet know harsh (coming from a species that tends to torture
and eat its young to weed out the weaklings as a perfectly socially
acceptable matter of course, I think I have some justification for this
view). In fact, learning to see children the way humans do - that's been
the... well, not the "hardest" part, exactly, but certainly the strangest,
most alien one (to me, at least). Such a perception is not natural to one
of my kind, but then we must learn to evolve beyond mere bodies if we are
to grow in the universe. Adapting to the shape and structure of diverse
social species psychological and cultural configurations isn't easy, but
the payoff is well worthit. :-)

During my first few tries at it, I failed miserably to accept the
imprinting of human social perspectives. As a character among humans, I was
quite loathed and in some circles, those incarnations are loathed to this
day. Fortunately, I've caught on to what it was about those times that made
me revert to my reptillian ways even though in human form. Rest assured, it
-won't- happen again.
