religion, society, and impulses tell them. Animals have the ability to "sense" but not reason. They do not know the 'why' behind what they do...most people I associate with, are just the opposite. They know exactly why they do things, and are either responsible, carless, or my atf....oblivious.
Um sweet pea? Animals reason. They teach their young how to survive. If instinct alone were that strong, there would be no thinking involved. Plants don't seem to think, but have survival instincts and tactics. Animals think and reason.
They either take the consequenses that come with their decisions or they blame shift, when they can't face the cold hard truth when the end results to their choices, have them in a tight spot. We often kick ourselves over the messes we make, but in reality we know why we are at a certain place in life....our actions and decisions got us there.
Um sweet pea? We all face the music whether we blameshift or not, and we all have and make excuses. "I always charge a married man" comes to mind.
Each action we take either moves us forward or backwards in the goals we want to achieve. I do believe in many instances we are very much like animals, and at times, even worse. What mother could put her kid in a dumpster without having an ounce of remorse? What father could rape his own daughter? You can't possibly think that is a peron who is rational or stable, but many times they are very much so. They are selfish, but at times sane. We call it insanity, because well...it's easier to swallow that way. Can't possibly be that some people are just fked up!
Um sweet pea? In honest self examination, you should find you have a lot more in common with Adolf Hitler, than with your "God of the bible". If not, read again. And you know I'm an atheist as I have told you, but I know also what you have told me you believe in these public posts.
At times, the human mind becomes an unstable and psychotic mind, and it is usually something in life that made those people that way...at least, that's what they will blame it on. "Because my mother did this to me, I do it to you." "Because people picked on me in high school, I am going to go shoot a bunch of innocent kids in Denver." "Because I was raised poor, stealing from the rich is ok."
Um sweet pea? read above about blameshifting.
So, you can in fact turn a human into an animal, but I think the word animal is a compliment in this context, because I don't know many animals who could be that fked up. At least they have a reason for doing things on impulse...they simply don't know any better.
Um sweet pea? All animals, including us, have examples of Fked up. Most will kill their young if born deformed, but plants don't do that. They reason that it will end up better off.
Humans often to things they know are wrong, and justify them as right...we know full well what they are. If we feel bad about doing something the only way to feel ok, is to pretend we don't "believe this or that" thinking it excuses us...well, it does not. I could say I don't think drinking and driving are wrong because I never killed anyone, but it does not change the fact that it has consequences. I could also say the same about cheating on a test..."well, I don't think it's wrong and I need an A to keep my average up."
Um sweet pea? Stop trying to make people feel bad about what they do, and they will come up with less excuses. If there is no victim, there is no crime. If there is, punish it accordingly. To hell with morals and trying to make anyone feel bad. Make the punishment make them feel bad.
"The voices made me do it, the devil made me do it," and on and on and on.
Um sweet pea? The devil made me do it? Only the religious whack jobs believe in such a character. Stop making my voices feel bad.
It is truly amazing how blind so many people are when it comes to their own wrong doing. For once, I would just like to see more people own the shit they do!
I own it all. I won't cower or blush. Now come here and let's fornicate! (sorry, I meant make love)
