i honestly cannot begin to percieve myself as being superior to any blade of grass or small creeping thing. who am i, and what have i done, to prove myself superior? i didn't create myself; i act as a consequence of Life, just like that bit of grass.
I think of humans as more stupider (yeah that's what I said) than most animals. Animals are more innocent than us on a whole. We think we're superior because we have opposable thumbs or something. At least animals don't need nuclear missles to settle disputes. They just fight each other to end it. But we need money and weapons and animal tranquilizers to prove our superiority. We think that we have the right to kill animals because they annoy us sometimes. It's horrible for anyone to ever say that they are superior to any other living thing.
It's not about superiority, it's about doing things in an enjoyable way. Of course, some prefer the rippin and the tearin (aminals) and some prefer the backyard BBQ (peoplyotises). Well, if an aminal is misbehaving and you think there is no cure for it's misbehavior but the next life, send it on. Many things are superior tasting than others. Of course, this is simply a matter of opinion.
i disagree; i wholeheartedly believe in basic human goodness and innocence. i don't think there was ever a guilty human baby born, and i think that every living human right now is fundamentally good and craving peace.
If you consider how aware a coporeal being can be and rate that a 10 and rate an omebe a 1 we would barley make a 2 . but in one way we are superior, we have the abilty to conform our enviorment on a globle scale and might very well end up saving this planet. we are also aware of our impact on our enviorment
I wish i still believed that, but i have come to relieze that are people out there who are fundamentaly indiferent to the plight of others and some who even find it amusing when others suffer , wether they were born that way or not i do not know
