Life

Life is such a beautiful thing, such a gift. It is so important that we spend the time we have here rejoicing. When i think about all the people in life, there are so many. It is amazing because I can think of all the people i have met and i have such an authentic relationship with each of them, so original, so fascinating. It is amazing this roller coaster of life.
I think that humans are simply animals, we are just gifted with an intellect. It is like, giraffes and lions are both animals, but giraffes are gifted with long necks. We have certain qualities just like every other animal. Animals don't look at us and are like "Oh those supreme humans, they are so stupid, they get to lord it over material nature, I wish I was one of them." No, I think that animals look at us and they see another animal, a human. They just don't have that faculty to judge. Yes, we laugh and we print money but it is because it is in our nature. In the same way, cats meow, and dogs eat poop, but it is because it is in their nature, this is how they have evolved over time.

I think getting back to our essential humanness is the key to life. Watching videos on youtube about saint-like Hyenas and messianic Lions that help each other and fellow animals of different categories, makes me think of humans. We are fundamentally human, and accepting our bad qualities and good qualities and being grateful, makes us the animal that we truly are. It is our quest to be fully human and to live life 100% with love and ferociousness that makes life so grand; so joyful.
