We are homo sapiens from the kingdom of animals. Animals cannot choose to change their lifestyle, but people can so we can become less animal than we are by nature. I love philosophy what actually is a human and what is his purpose on teh Earth. Socrates has given a human definition: it is an animal walking on two legs. It is logical to name a person as a certain type of animal (zoological), but we can cross it out with specific characteristics: Spirit, Mind, Morality. It is these qualities – and not the zoological classification – that makes a person a human, not animal.

It was your post the other day that trigged my thinking of this. Thanks for the inspiration and i love your comment.
it is true that we are of the animals, sad that sometimes we believe we are above the animals.

Rather a philosophical post A lot of effort has gone in there.
Great photos – they do bring back memories

Wonderful photos. I am learning a lot about the differences between humans and animals now that I have the mom and her four kittens living here. Cat mom Oreo lays down and one of her babies meows to be with mom. I put the kitten on the table and put Oreo there too. She spends about two minutes with the happy kitten and then goes off by herself again. The kitten runs after her. You can’t reason with a cat mom but a human mom would take the time to be with her child.

Interesting thoughts – did you know that baby whales, baby elephants and other higher mammals are born like human babies?
That they exist for 1-2 years in the protection of their mother?
Higher-order animals all protect and nurture their young.

That is interesting, Doc. Makes me think Oreo is one of those moms whose head is elsewhere now that the kittens are getting bigger by the day. I still think she would be devasted if they were given away that is why we have decided to keep the family together.

she would, I know human mothers that couldn’t care less about their children as well.
It is a wide world after all.

I like how you included Buddha in the mix. You know in ancient times cats were worshipped as gods and they have never forgotten. Just sayin’.
-
yes Egypt worshipped cats. In Thailand, the Siamese cat guarded the royal treasure. In the legend of the king’s cats, the Siamese cats with the kinks in their tails (wrapped around the king’s treasure) were the descendants of the royal guardian cats!

Very nice post. And all the while Buddha is watching. We should probably go with the trend toward respecting life, and other animals … each other included.
The cats in Venice seem to be lucky – no cars anywhere so they can relax but the cat living here in your post may have found enlightenment. .-
it is possible they have found the reclining buddha.
We should just take the time and remember the human! Oops remember the animal!
