When an animal's young is born, as a rule, it's ready for living a full life. But a human newborn is born a bit incomplete and reaches the level of an animal only at the age of one and a half... and then it leaves the animal level behind and keeps on developing... It's curious that this incompleteness in a human soul remains for life. All one's life a person will not feel ready for something, will lack something and still feel incomplete... And this very feeling of being incomplete is what differences human beings from animals as this is the perpetual motion which makes this world go round... This very inborn human incompleteness, this inborn imperfection... multiplied by endless thirst for attaining to perfection...

I would separate the human from the non-human. Many of those who call themselves human are not. A person is someone who has love, someone who has no love, it is not a person.
To learn to love, watch the Apple tree in spring… At first, she is happy with the spring, blooms with beautiful flowers, then the bees arrive… then there is a long warm summer... then a fruitful autumn. The most important thing is that there is no greed and greed in the Apple tree. Apples are eaten by worms, birds, and animals. Myself the Apple tree does not require anything from anyone in return, it only rejoices that its fruits are useful and in demand in society.
Love is the ability to see beauty. Unintelligent animals do not know the concept of beauty, therefore they are not capable of love. A man who denies beauty is mad.
The more small bites you take of the truth, the more energy is generated. You need to chew the truth long and carefully. Take the example of cows, they eat all day, and their milk is good for society.
A hole in the wall should not be hammered with your head like a woodpecker, but with specially created tools. Man differs from other animals in that in order to catch a bird of fortune, he can weave a net, make a bow and arrow, and generally approach the process of hunting creatively.
Reason is a knowing and curious entity. An animal entity is an entity seeking pleasure ... What do animals do? They eat, relax, breed, build their minks and nests. What does a reasonable person do? Cognizes the world and seeks the truth.
