Sounds like Hume. Or Dumbledore… Whose quote?

I think it's the power to grow from pain. To rise from the ashes...

Animals can feel compassion and empathy. What is love? Does it require self-awareness?

What is love?

Thought the same, and I guess some animals can also feel some love for their children

Agree 💯 However, emphatic people suffer more from disappointments because their hearts are very vulnerable.

I get colder the more medicated when not I'd die for people

Try telling that to the bondage people.....

What makes us human is our ability to manipulate symbols, to think.

It is both a curse & blessing, the knowledge of good & evil.

Heaven & hell both exist in this realm. The line between good & evil exists in the heart in the heart of every man.

Bill Hicks put it best - it's just a ride.
