from the mind of critic-10/21/17

From the mind of critic: “If human characteristics placed on animals help us better understand them, do animal characteristics placed on humans help us better understand ourselves? Does this better understanding lead to conscious evolution, or further cementing of ingrained attitudes and actions? If we’re all animals but supposedly civilized, does learning of our inherent incivility, make us want to turn back the clock, or wind it forward? As we continue understanding animal life by any means necessary, so too must we understand human life by any means necessary. However because of free will, just having the information to help us understand, doesn’t guarantee we will. We can take in and use the understanding, we can ignore it or simply stare blankly. Once we realize that animal and human comparisons can help explain light and love and dark and hateful actions, we’ll see it’s up to us to use that information to better life for humans, by bettering life for all humans, because unity won’t just fall in our laps. We’re all animals and we’re all humans, it’s up to us what’s our dominant trait.” 🙂
