Continuation of my previous post from the other thread.
We may not understand animals and animals may not understand us, but they can understand the different emotions and reactions such as facial expressions and posture. Evolution has definitely given us something there that has developed over the millennia, giving rise to religion. Isn't it fascinating to research when exactly that arose, but it's timed with the development of slightly more precise tools.
What we like about animals may be primitive because we have the product of good and evil, but animals are only moved to survive and reproduce. The view of things can be very different.
You'd be astonished at the intimate stories, hidden struggles, and heartfelt dreams that people are willing to reveal if only they find someone who'll truly listen. — Arcticus
