No. I'm an animal. I'm good with that.

@Ynotisay Aren't Humans animals like other animals ?

@usher No. Human beings are unique. There's many differences but one is that we have the ability for abstract thought. We have rationality. Animals don't. So just because we have the capacity for something doesn't mean we must access it. I don't believe in spirituality but I still have the capacity for abstract thoughts. But knowing where they come from pushes me towards my belief. I believe spirituality, in all its forms, is a construct of man. We want to make sense of things we don't understand. Animals don't have that burden. So I try to focus my attention on the tangible. Like animals.
