Every day I look around and see humans as animals.
They dress up, use tools, and try to seem sophisticated,
but I can't help seeing every action, relationship, nuance of gender or personality mirrored in the rest of the animal kingdom.

And it's sad how we separate ourselves from it.

We're just one big buzzing beehive, and everything we do in retrospect becomes the most obvious sucession of events. Of course we drive cars.
Of course we have old folks homes.
Of course we have supermarkets.

How can we consider ourselves different?

We call it consciousness, awareness.
But look back, look at "cavemen".
There was consciousness. And they weren't very removed from apes, monkeys. Is there any scientific part of an apes brain that dictates if they have consciousness? no. They just have "less sophisticated" evolved brains.
But that doesn't mean they can't feel, can't judge, can't expirience, with whatever awareness they do own.

We treat mentally handicapped humans better than we do other animals.
And yet there's 3 or 4 billion handicapped humans.

It's hard. Hard to remove yourself from the "elite" position of human,
and instead,
understand that you're merely another "animal".
