Now in these world when every person is selfish. Every person think only about herself then think about this issue and tell me that what is the real difference between animal and man. Even animal can eat food and they can do there general routine as well. We can identify human only on the basis of 2 legs. Otherwise no person in these days want to help other person. Which is same as animal. So think about this issue and tell me now in which direction you are going . Are you are going to be good man of future or just bad animal of present. Share your opinion about this issue.

I think there is no difference between animal and human . They both try to suppress the weaker one . The only difference is human wears a mask of fake personality but animal are true to what they really are .

There is a big difference between humans and animals. Human beings are capable of rational thoughts, whereas animals are not. Of course, being capable of rational thoughts is not the same as actually using your rationality. It's just sad that lots of people choose to go down to the level of animals and just do whatever they please without thinking of the consequence of their actions. I would also like to add that humans have more complex emotions than animals. Yes, animals can love too, but not at the same level as humans, or at least some humans who choose to love. To sum up, humans are capable of rational thoughts and higher levels of emotions, but it is up to them to use these capabilities. Animals, on the other hand, do not have these capabilities at all.

But what they are doing by rationalising there thoughts. Is you think that they are doing anything good. They just make existing problem more complex.

I'm trying to point out to you that not all humans are selfish. Some definitely choose to act like animals, but there are still some who are decent. For example, why are you saying all the things that you are saying right now? It's because you are a decent person. You choose to be who you are right now. If you are going to say that all people are selfish and worse than an animal, then you are saying that you are also selfish and worse than an animal.

Everything you do in life will come back to you in time. If you want to get in life, try giving. And if you really want to get, give unconditionally. You will attract it all back to you.

There are slight difference between people and animal, because from Darwin's evolution theori they came from primata.Animal do something by insting, but people not just insting, they do something by logical and feeling. When we have loss logical and feeling, become selfish that means people have become animal

Human beings, despite all their defects or shortcomings, are indeed better than animals. They can in no way be compared to the animals. Allah Almighty has created Human beings as the best of the creatures or Crown creatures. They have been bestowed with mulitiple blessings and qualities which give them edge over animals and set them apart from beasts. Though, the human history is replete with horrible and heart-rending events and incidents of massacre, bloodshet, robbery, oppression, persecutions, injustice committed by none other but Human beings. But, on the hand, we have prophets, saints, Walis, good natured people, humanatarians, philanthropist who make our world a happy Eden. Indeed, Man is a blend of angelic and devilish qualities. It is his education that promotes and uplifts his angelic qualities and supresses his develish nature.

There are several differences between people and animals...self awareness is one of them. Another is that man has a conscience which helps him determine right from wrong. You can't generalize people as all bad or even as all good because everyone is an individual so they have their own morals and behavior. I don't know where you are but down here in the southern part of the United States east coast, there are many more kind, caring and helpful people than selfish and uncaring ones. I live in a small community and we definitely don't only care about ourselves. Just about every year we have big storms and hurricanes come through our state and the first thing folks down here do following a storm is to go out and see if anyone is hurt or needs help. This is the compassion that separates us from the animals.

Technically, man IS animal, so they are one in the same. However, humans are more intelligent than most other animals (I do not say all because I think the possibility exists that creatures such as dolphins may be more intelligent than us, as well as some creatures we're not yet aware of.). We have the power of reasoning, which sets us (and other primates) apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. Humans are thought to be the only species left that has lost virtually all of its instincts. We have very few anymore. Or, another way to look at it would be that our instincts have evolved to the point that renders them unrecognizable as basic instincts. A bird also has two legs. That does not a human it make. Not every human is bad. I realize there are a lot of bad people out there, but there are also many, many kind and generous people.

Hi neeraj, don't be too pessimistic on the world and the people. I agree that nowadays there people who're selfish, irresponsible, cruel, 'cold-blooded', sarcastic, and so on. So many types of bad characteristics human have. However, there're still good people around which are kind and always willing to help. Human beings, although according to revolution theories,are evolved from animals but the main thing that distinguish animal from humans is that human have the cognitive ability to think, we haev feelings, we can differentiate what's good and bad which is not for animals. So,the choice is in our hand whether we choose to be good or bad person to live our lives. For me,i'll choose to be good. I believe,people will treat us nice if we're nice to them too. What goes around comes around, this is the saying which i believe it's always true.
