The Animal within Us!!!

Human Civilization has come a long way since the rock age. Mankind prospered and moved out of forest and caves where it used to dwell at those times.

Though human beings might have moved out of forest but did jungle really moved out of us?

It’s hard to answer it. When one just looks around, it simply doesn’t require much effort to spot the two-legged animals. Many a times, the mirror can also do the trick though it’s not so simple to spot it in such case. You can call that one of Animal Instincts.

So the question that I was having hard time thinking about is actually what is it that differentiates us the Human Beings from the Animals?

Our power to think? No, animals can think!!

Our ability to invoke new ideas? Wrong, I doubt they also invent ideas. From saving themselves from falling prey to hunters, for searching, for saving themselves from harsh weather etc. Yes they also derive and develop ideas.

So what it actually is? They eat, they talk, they dance, they make love, they breathe, they breed, they do almost all the things we do.

They do make their societies. Many animals have their closed social groups.

So what makes us the Humans superior of all the living beings?

Is this notion itself a complete havoc or there is really some substance to it.

Let’s analyze it through the reality of life!!

Actually as much as I understood it’s all about the power, The Power to rule. This is the thing that has made us Humans as we are. Ironically enough this is the same thing that at times makes us animals again.

We had the power to rule over the wildest of animals. So we did it. We captured them for our fun, killed them for our entertainment, eradicated their comfort zones and when we finally succeeded in achieving all of it without any hiccup we proudly called ourselves the best creation of God.

Indeed God is too omnipresent to even file his objections for this claim.

This indeed clears the complete analogy; there is no one to raise any objection to whatever we do. So it’s more about the monopoly than any advantage.

Nevertheless we happily practice animalism everyday. We are lion for our servant, a dog for our boss, a fox for our lover and a calf for our mother.

Isn’t it great to take so many animal avatars everyday and still call ourselves superior and better?

Incidentally We Were, Are and Would be Animals.
