After reading this article some thoughts come to mind,
Is there ill-will in Nature or is it a gift from man??
I am not a pet lover, but being a nature lover, i do have love and compassion for all animals. They have all the reactions, emotions and feelings of which men are so proud. I believe, they even have more perfect senses than men. The only difference is that they can't speak, write or flood us with books on what they have felt...
I do not know how perfect my observation is, but have seen animals like tigers, lions, elephants always so perfectly still if they are not in action. Whenever see a lion sitting, it seems telling me, ''Oh how fidgety you are!''
They look at anyone with such a peaceful air of wisdom...
And all their power, energy, physical strength are there, gathered, collected, concentrated and without a shadow of agitation, ready for action and that's too with a perfect calm.
Whereas, I have seen people who can not sit still for even half an hour and have to stir restlessly all the time, that implies integral weakness.
But between the two, there is a passage where man makes the most vulgar and low use of his intelligence, he makes it an instrument for calculation, domination, deception, and there it becomes very ugly...
Animals have an altogether rudimentary mind. They are not tormented by incessant thoughts like human beings. They feel a spontaneous gratitude for an act of kindness towards them, whilst men, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, begin to reason and ask themselves what interest one could have in being good. This is perhaps one of the the great miseries of mental activity...
The unselfish movement, uncalculating, is one of the most beautiful forms of psychic consciousness in the world, but the irony is that, the higher one rises in the scale of mental activity, the rarer it becomes...
It's the man who has to think to rise to a higher level and make good use of his intelligence with a desire to be kinship with the animals by sharing his best, and only the best with them, then things can take on a much greater value...
Very true. Nicely articulated.

DeleteFound the post really intriguing and thought-provoking!!!!!!!!! :-) Humans perception that they are the smartest in the animal kingdom dates back to the period where they started domesticating animals and then the advent of organized religions that viewed them as the superior most species. But most researchers and intellectuals still argue that animals are just different and no way inferior to humans and it is probably the ability of humans to reason that places them in the superior most stratum of animal kingdom. But there are possibilities that animals offer different kind of intelligence which goes beyond human reception and their cognitive faculties are way beyond human understanding. In any case, human cognitive superiority and the exclusive power to reason stand no where near animals' innocence, unselfishness, uncalculatingness, forgiveness and many other exceptional qualities......
