PERCEIVED PERCEPTION

​​It's taken more years than I care to count, but I can now see that one of our biggest human failings is most certainly that we've allowed ourselves to decipher worth based upon the recognition of difference between species.

I can't however seem to fathom how much better off we would be if such alienation didn't exist.

What might we be if I meant as much to you as you do?

Would it be for better or worse if the well-being of a dog, a bird, an insect held the same regard as our own?

I think it would be for the better, and I think if this practice of loving even that which we find most different from ourselves were taught to our young rather the teachings that have brought us to where we are now, that a very near generation might find that love as a default serves much better than a division among animals and come even sooner to the realization that loves opposite is only required when love is allowed an absence.
