What is the basic difference between man and animal ?
Animals can react only, they are thus driven mostly by first reactions, but only man knows how to control first reactions and convert a tendency of mere reaction into a positive and useful response that may push him forward in life in attaining higher power and control.
Animals have no idea of growth through self transformation, but man, by his ability of ceaselessly BEING and BECOMING, keeps on transforming himself through generations and grows into a worthier species on earth .
That's precisely why, not like rest of the animal world, a man is called a human-BEING and thus, only man knows how to be judicious, the art of being RESPONSIBLY RESPONSIVE.
Do you remain aware of this subtle trait of yourself too, every now and then and always ? If yes, keep confidently smiling. Being more conscious implies being more spirited and alive. Cheers !
