Where is the line drawn?

Question

a person, an animal? What makes 1 a person and 1 an animal?

Answer 1

If it has a tail at the front, its a man. If it has a tail at the back, its an animal.

Answer 2

It seems a matter of perspective doesn't it?  Who would be the "right" drawer of that line.  Certainly the "ego" steps to the front of the line and says "I will tell you where that line is" and then it will promptly tell you why everyone fails but you and then at your proudest moment it will turn on you and throw you into the fire.  Maybe we don't need a line, but rather, time.  In time all show where they stand.  to me the line might be labeled with "Love" on one side and "Fear" on the other.

Answer 3

There is no line.

Humans are classified as animals

Answer 4

the level of intelligence?
