Animals do not believe in caste nor creed

mother dog and baby chimp sharing love - If animals can do it, why not human beings

A friend sent me these pictures. I was indeed touched by the love the mother dog and the baby chimp share with each other. Why is it so difficult for us human beings to forget colour, forget how rich or poor one is and forget the caste as animals do?

Humans have natural tendencies that are too complicated compared to animals'. It's not that surprising for me that animals don't mind of such things. I have a dog and as long as you show care for him, he'll treat you nicely and play with you.

There must be something about us humans that make us superior. If it is our intellect surely we are not making good use of it. Or are we making bad use of it and therefore choose to have divisions in society?

Human life is way more complicated. I wish people could at least try to think things in a simpler way and be more generous in giving away love.

Animals do not have the sixth sense we are endowed with. This makes us thinkers both negative and positive.This is why we have so many hangups, differences and wariness in interactions.In the animal world, predators would not find friends in the meek ones which are their prey.In our interactions ,because we are able to think , we start disbelieving people who are not of our own clan.Actually, it is senseless but too much of thinking does this.

We can admire but we cannot change; it is irony indeed! But what to do all knowing! We all behave according to what our circumstances dictate.

I could perhaps say we are cursed with the sixth sense. There is so much we do that is not called and I am no exception. This thought that we are superior than others is interned in our bones. I don't think it will come easily to me to think that all are equal. And yet when we see it in animals we just must make a note of it and think about them as wonderful creatures. Real irony. Right?

I have seen pictures as well of different animals together like cats and dogs and such. Why animals can get along much better than humans and not think of the differences between them astounds me. I do not know why they can get along better being so different than we can with different people. We are supposed to be smarter then them and yet we dislike others for being different for all reasons and yet the animals get along better then we do. if we got along as well as the dog and chimp in the picture with all our differences then the world would be a much better place and maybe we'd have world peace.

I found this chemp and dog a rare and beautiful site. A chimp is almost a human being. We admire when animals do these things but never do it ourselves. We have class, religion, and give importance to so many other such things.

I have seen cute pictures of different animals as well. Who would ever think that these animals would even be together in a photo, or even be captured in one great pose? That should really be something for us to ponder. The indifference we have with one another should be set aside and jusy focus on how we could live as one big, happy family.

When we are supposed to be superior to animals I wonder what parameters define that!

There are just a lot of weird things happening everyday. We can never know why they ever happen....

because we people have the curse of a power called 'thinking'. simple as it is. we help people who can help us back. that is when we help. we care for people who take care of us in return. we stick to a definite community and lack trust on people outside this. we also doubt ourselves that we cannot get out of that group.people abuse other people with the names of animals but the truth is that we are no where near what these animals are. how funny right? :)

animals think and can think. Maybe they don't think like humans but they think. Also they know when they are near or with an animal that is different.so i don't think we should say animals don't think.

I don't think it is right to say that animals do not think.

I think its not their nature to be that judging. We humans are just too intelligent for that (that is sarcasm by the way). It is a saddening thought that most people like to discriminate and bully other people just because of their color. Sad but that is the reality, we can never change that.

I am trying my best to change this thinking but it is not easy. We have created grooves and we place people in those grooves.

Hi, I also love colors and flowers and natural pictures.All the animals and birds are innocent in nature.We mankind only have sense and we are using it for competition and hence we have made life more complicated.

We are aware of our weaknesses and yet is it not strange we make no attempts to change our attitude?

ideally yes because they are not worried about it and are aimed to enjoy life

I sometimes wonder why we have been given faculties which are considered to be superior to animals only to mess up this world!

Yeah, sometimes having different souls and different brains than animals is not only a value but it is a curse on humanity, too... People just want to get higher and higher, so they would bring other people down, so they find out 'weaknesses" nfor people just to secure their high places... sometimes I lose my faith in humanity.

If we all make efforts to change, this world could be a better place. The world revolves round competition and as long as this exists changing our thinking would be tough but one never knows. If everyone decided to change imagine how different our world would be

Amen to that man! I guess it's just how the media or how society makes others view other people like. I wish one day that everyone would have one mind and just join hands.

If we as individuals make efforts in that direction things could change. It is difficult but I am making efforts and hope to one day consider all around me as equals.
