My Hope For The Future

We Are Unique. Chimpanzees Are Unique. Dogs Are Unique. But We Humans Are Just Not As Different As We Used To Think.

You Have To Realise That Touching Is A Real Violation Of Personal Space.

It's Not That Humans And Non-humans Are Identical... But The Lack Of Understanding That Led To The Slave Trade Is The Same Lack Of Understanding Many People Have About Animals Today. When Slaves Were Brought Over From Africa, Many People Believed They Were Not Humans, That They Didn't Have Feelings. Many People Believe That Primates And Other Animals Don't Have Feelings, Too, But They Do.

Words Can Be Said In Bitterness And Anger, And Often There Seems To Be An Element Of Truth In The Nastiness. And Words Don't Go Away, They Just Echo Around.

Certainly, If You Look At Human Behavior Around The World, You Have To Admit That We Can Be Very Aggressive.
