The difference between human beings and animals

     The difference between human beings and animals is that what animals can follow are universal truths; one the contrary, humans choose their own truth as individuals. The meaning of animals’ existence is to reproduce offspring and to keep the food chain running. During the season of malting, the nature that animals are born with makes them do the copulation again and again without pleasure. Some animals even have to kill and eat their mates while copulation. The truth for them is to reproduce like a machine and increase the possibility of birth as many as possible. It is totally different from that of human beings. In a certain meaning we have the ability to choose the way to live. When you take a look around, you see people discussing the topic they interested in, falling in love with the ones who attract them. Just like being in a supermarket, we pick the items that we love from the shelf and place them into the cart. Every item is one simple truth; when it is selected by us, it also becomes a part of us, in which the item (or truth) forms a single ideology.

Truth can be changed at anytime, and this is the reason why each human being differed from others. People in different spirit have been clearly revealed for what they are in the society. No one will ever find two human beings alike in spirit just like no one has ever discovered two identical leaves. The variation of human bases on the experience they had and the truths they believe. Among them, the truth one believes impacted by what the one has experienced. For example, while you are reading my statement, it becomes a part of your thought, no matter you agree with me or not. For animals, everything is functioned for them, including truth. The thing is, what matters to animals is the maintenance that could keep them alive, especially the animals as primary consumers in the food chain. Therefore, the instincts to keep animals alive are the constant truths for them.

There is no absolute truth for everyone, which is why people should not force their views on others. I love peanuts, but this does not mean my friend wants to try some peanuts with me, especially if she is allergic to peanuts. One particular truth is not suitable for all the people. In short, we as human beings have the right to choose the right truth for ourselves, no matter how weird it is for others.
