Do you ever wonder what it must be like for a wild animal?

Waking up cold and hungry. Trying to find food without becoming something else’s food. Ending the day trying to find a safe sheltered place to sleep.

Suddenly that commute doesn’t seem so bad.

But cognition is different in humans. Animals aren't "thinking" about the things we think about it. Their world is instinct. No fear. No judging. No goals outside of survival and procreation. What I'd like to see is more people understand that they're animals too. It slows the world down and makes it much more navigable. And real.

@Ynotisay Absolutely! I wince when I see the phrase 'humans and animals' rather than the factually correct 'humans and other animals'

The same applies when speaking about apes
