Answer 6

Dear Friend,

                       This thought is only true as long as we differentiate ourselves from the plants or animals. The moment we realize The Now i.e. living in the Present and come to know that I am One with Every thing and every one, we will not  see the difference. The only difference remains is that of the Form,each and every thing has taken.

                                                                Nature is the same, but the form is different. Nature is One. And scientifically speaking it is all atoms, protons and space and Pure Energy holding them together.

Answer 7

Self-awareness.  Free will.  Ego.

Answer 8

At core base Nature is same - eat, sleep, breed etc. However it is the differences in nature that matter.

We don't abide by 'Law of the Jungle' as to say, we think of ourselves as civilized(yes I'm aware of the irony) - We have laws, we have rules, we have ethics.

. . . . . but what completely sets us apart is ability to reason. We can think and reason, and have used this ability to advance. We have computers, planes, cars, buildings, books etc.

However it also came at a cost, when we defy the laws of nature, which animals and plants are completely in tuned with.

We selfish by nature as we are the only species that have no problems to eradicate everything else as long we get what we want. . . . . and of course if you don't abide by laws of nature - there are consequences, and we are just beginning to find out!

Answer 9

Humans are animals. Most of what we do can be linked to other animals as well. What makes us different than other animals is our perception of "self".
