>What possible motivation does one have for behaving in a manner other than that of an animal, well, actually most of "behaving like an animal" is only done by humans and such behavior can't be found in the animal kingdom. Calling it "like an animal" is a typical hypocrisy of humans. >human beings as nothing more than meat-based mechanisms for storing and transporting DNA. yes, like any lifeforms we know. >This idea is dangerously embedded in society now, and it risks creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of barbarism. Blaming society, ideas, whatever ... instead of taking personal responsibility is a human species trait that, i think, will either have to disappear or it will take the human race down (it wasn't that important before, when Mother Nature held your personally responsible for your actions, yet with technological growth and power wielded by individuals and small groups over highly organized masses of humans it becomes an extremely dangerous trait - i think the 20th century was a nice preview of the future and the WW III is going to be an interesting exercise).
