Bodvar to Mati: A touching story Mati, but would a purely biological being - an animal - grieve the death of a parent, and it must if emotions origin is in biology. Grief, mourning .. etc. are genuinely human and as such social patterns. That the social level has biology "at its disposal" and causes (in this case) tears, sobs, face grimaces and so on is plain.
Andre: Bodvar, you will not be surprised at me jumping in here as well. I simply cannot believe what you write. The contortions and twists nd presumptions you make to justify your interpretaton of the MoQ. I will ask again, how do you know what animals feel? How do you know what they experience? What you are doing is worse than a SOM interpretation. Have you read gav's post about China in this issue? You are invoking an intellectual, totalitarian view of the animal/organic and social level. When you say: 'The fact that you could control the feelings by suppressing the biological expression I would think was was your intellectl's objective... it shows how much you have lost touch. You are propagating the disappearance of sentience! I really think you are turning into a Mr. Spock one thousand fold. You continue in an effort to make your point: ...but emotions are something that lingers and would not only include missing the young, but be extended to hatred of the person who took it away and the need for revenge. Andre: Speak for yourself Bodvar! This may not be everyone's response. You are taking your SOL and its world-view to the extreme and once again neglect the existence of other intellectual patterns beside it. I reall am amazed and shocked Andre PS rather than respondig to this one alone, you have a long waiting list to go through beginning with Khoo Hock Aun.
