the world is like a big cage...with all kinds of animals in it.
casually surfed the net with the query: "are humans classified under the animal kingdom"
answer is yes. (now then i remembered of a scientific name for humans...some homo sapien crap.)
what came with the results were the interesting part- some raised this question on why humans are classified under the animal kingdom (on a spiritually basis).
vaguely went through some comments...many started talking about souls...wait. souls. souls?
i guess many of us might be misled by the mainstream ideas.
we always say it's human nature that we are greedy. hm...what if i were to rephrase this as "when there's competition we get aggressive; otherwise we are greedy."?
if you agree with me on this then the question pops- so are we really different from animals?
try spitting saliva on me with things like we are more civilised than animals etc.
please keep in mind our ancestors came from the forests of africa; we drilled this so called fact into our brains just to just hallucinate ourselves that we are far more superior than those staring at us blankly from their enclosures. aren't we ourselves in a big cage- physically and mentally?
in national geographic you see animals hunting one another everyday. but how many people reviewed on the idea of the fact that sometimes in order to capture such shots a prey is purposely being released in the area for the predator?
obviously we don't kill each other with claws and teeth. the aftermath is so dirty and messy. thus we do the same with mouth and pens. or perhaps with a gun- a shot and leave with the bloody mess behind.
"oh we do have thoughts, feelings and languages as humans."
so animals don't think? if they don't they could have been extinct long time ago with a lack of proper habits (e.g. migrating birds to ward off the seasons). and they have been utilising the greatest engine of evolution long before the monkeys rot around in the forests. i am sure if a typical elephant were able to see its dear mammoth ancestors with a comment i guess that would be something like "wtf?"
languages? thanks to our political instincts every race has their own language to keep hold of their pride. dolphins communicate using sonar waves. we copied them for other usage instead. -.-
feelings? don't make me laugh. animals do have feelings too. we think they because we don't really get to see how many pigs cry before they are being slaugthered everyday. and looks like we invented something known as love which doesn't seem to have a proper definition...and perhaps to not let the males go mating everywhere...just in case somebody brings this issue up as a point of argument.
when our ancestors started out they had to fight against other kinds of animals. now we built our own kingdom of humans...leaving the animals at bay. with the remnants of our animal instinct...and no more animals to fight with...in the end humans fight among each other...the human way.
so we have built a human empire with the foundations of our animal like instincts...smoked through stuff with our very own concepts and hallucinations. fought and killed like humans. think like humans. feel like humans.
i hope the animals around us are not laughing at us. if not it surely means that they are smart enough to know that we rised and fell because of the same reason- we want to be known as humans.
