Reason really is the only thing that separates us from other animals. Well the sophisticated reason that we use in our everyday lives. I do wonder if animals have a sense of reason as well. Is there reason the same as ours, but we are just too blind and arrogant to see it. But then again, maybe not.
When you think about it, we are more similar to humans than we think. We seek companionship like they do. We do drastic things for food. We live according to a food chain. We care for our off-spring and we live in colonies. When I stop to think about it, when we say that something and animal does is human like, we aren't really correct. What should be said is that things we do are animal like. Often times this is said for a negative thing, but it should be said for everything we do. We are not really above any animal in the world, we just simply like to think we are.
I said the same thing! Kind of... haha. The main idea was that we look to highly at ourselves as being above animals when we really are just one species that evolved from them. I kind of like that thought that we are more animal-like than we think.
