Sharing Knowledge
This article does not mean to generalize, because there are still many people who are kind like angels. Friends may agree or not. This is just my own thoughts that I got from observing human life in this modern era.
In my opinion, the saying that says, "What distinguishes humans from animals is morals" is something that is wrong or I can say wrong.
Why is that?.....
The reason I say wrong is because there are so many news stories about human cruelty that exceeds animals. Not long ago, in the city where I live, there was a case of sexual abuse of a minor by an adult, what was more painful and heartbreaking to me was that the perpetrators of the sexual crime were none other than her own biological father, uncle and grandfather.
In other news, there are so many cases of murder committed by grandchildren against their grandparents. Still in the city where I live, there has been a case of a grandson killing his grandmother for quite some time because he could not afford to buy a motorbike.
Especially if we follow the news about the cruelty of the members of the begal, cartels and so on.
This proves that the old adage is not wrong either which says, "Tigers do not eat their own children but humans eat their own children"
On that basis, I argue that what distinguishes humans from animals is not morals or behavior, but creativity.
Now let's think, without human help, cats will not have a permanent home, without the help of human intelligence, dolphins will not be able to do acrobatics, without human help dogs will not be able to be trained, without the help of human intelligence cats will not be able to wear clothes.
Let's pay attention, from the past until now, bird houses in various trees, never differ, always the same.
But what about humans? ....
From the stone age to the present, starting from the shape and style of house buildings, clothing models and types of food always change and vary. Can this be done by animals? .....
Thank you for reading my short article. Hopefully it will be food for thought. I really look forward to the discussion in the comments column. May our days be enjoyable and full of blessings.
