Merle,<br/><br/>That might be your point, but it's not mine. The tiger is doing
nothing wrong by following its instincts and eating you: it's nothing personal
- you're just lunch. I get that. But the tiger has no choice - it's blindly
following its instinct to survive. It has no idea of the suffering it inflicts
on you. Humans on the other hand can act against self-interest, even if it
harms themselves, because of they have an awareness of the other's suffering.
Just because there are more instances of the opposite occurring doesn't negate
that we *do* have that ability to a much higher degree than any other animal.
Like I said, it's not because we've been divinely chosen, but because of the
quirks of evolution affecting human development. We are a spiritual animal. We
know of no other animal that is so.<br/><br/>Mike<br/><br/><br/>Sent from
