We're all just the same, aren't we?
I woke up yesterday with a weird question in my head so I decided to seek answers. I needed to know what made humans so different from other animals asides from the obvious facts surrounding our more developed minds and all that. I needed to understand why I felt so confused all the time yet other animals seemed to just survive on their instincts and shit like that.
After a few hours of reading random articles about mammals that are like humans, I just concluded that life isn't really meant to be as complicated as we make it. I read about how different animals are born into packs, they mature, split up and create new packs and then come back into the fold to live under the leadership of the oldest in the pack.
Wasn't the first time I had come across that information but for some reason, reading about it at that point in time just made so much sense to me. It made me really understand some questions I had unanswered in my head at the time and I felt content.
Life isn't meant to be complicated. It's unfortunate for us humans that we don't exactly have as much of a structure as most animals do but in our own way, we still make things work. We try, fail, succeed, die, give birth and keep going.
We go through life with no handbook. We don't know who's getting it right or wrong, but what we do know is that everyone is going to die. We do things every day to give life some meaning but in the end, we just die and let someone else take up the shit we left behind.
I concluded that all that matters at every point in time is the present. What's going on right now, what your plans are, who you want to be with and all that? That's all that matters.
I concluded that as long as I find happiness in a particular situation, that should be the most important thing. I know in a few days, weeks, or months I'll feel a little different but for now, this is how I feel.
All very true! I look at animals and see humans without language and with a slightly different set of instincts and capabilities. Watch a cat for an hour and imagine you had no language or technology and plans and tell me you wouldn’t act the same?
I believe there's no being on earth without a language, just that we can't understand it. I mean you look at a rat and say oh, come here, I won't hurt you but it dashes off, why? rats don't understand nor speak English.
Similarly, we can't understand nor speak their language like we speak English.
But what I find fascinating is that sometimes, somehow, we can actually understand animals if we look within, there's some sort of energy within that can read the state of their minds, just how dogs can sense when someone is scared cause maybe, he's up to no good.
Exactly. We're all just built around this cycle of life that begins with life and ends with death. What we do in between may differ but it's all just for survival until the end of our journey.
We are all the same, I think humans are just being silly if they for a second think they are superior. Ever seen a bird nest? how many humans can build that without hands? just a beak?
Ok, what about the ants? those insects labor more than all humans combined!
I believe we all know the answers. basically, we build and develop in our own environments until we don't, and that's when we are incapable because there's no air left to breathe.
I think what makes humans superior is our ability to diversity. Ants don't build nests, birds don't build hills. Humans have the ability to do whichever they desire.
That's not the point, we all have limits.
Yay! 🤗
