@fmf saidBy the way, I felt somehow enriched by your OP.
OK, so be it.
My post only touched on one aspect of humanity--but one that is very apparent in our present world--mankind's control or lack thereof, of anger. Well, that and mankind's bent towards or away from benevolence.
My post, therefore, falls way short of your OP concerning the much broader "definition" of people.

@liljo saidNo, your post is fine. Clearly what I thought we'd be talking about is different from what people - having seen KellyJay's question in the OP - actually want to talk about. It's OK. It's just forum life.

@liljo saidI live in a culture where benevolence is commonplace and anger is [mostly] either avoided or hidden.

You explain people by their paradoxical nature's, which are actually quite mutable once one gives up trying to positively encapture people. And accepts that paradox is the best way to themself.
Another question? How do explain the human brain , said to be the most fascinating thing universe?

@josephw saidThe OP asks “how do you define people”, it does not ask “how do people define themselves?”
People define themselves by what they do.
Not by all their jibber jabbering about who they think they are.
We cannot act for another person in order to define them, so we have to rely on “jibber jabber”. As you call it.
@divegeester said
Once again the bible does not support this assertion. What it says is that we are born in sin. We are not made in the image of god.
Gen 1
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
