Throughout time, men have argued over which belief system is real and whether or not science plays a part. What if both opposing factions of thought really are seeking the same exact thing? Is it possible for all men to live in harmony with the universe that surrounds them? Perhaps it is a matter of control and our own inner desire to be controlling of everything, including those around us.
Is it possible for us to live in harmony?
It is a fact that many people prefer animals over other human beings. With animals, there is no such thing as racism, bullying, or any kind of a popularity contest. However, human beings can really do unspeakable things to one another just for sheer amusement. It is sad that our innate need to control can wind up inflicting so much cruelty, pain and suffering. In life, there are many lessons to be learned. Sometimes you learn them from the things done to you and sometimes from the things you do to others.
Most people prefer animals to other humans.
Granted, while we may be different as individuals each of us has some kind of a natural instinct or “spark” that is immutable and guides us. What exactly does this mean and where did it come from? Are we really alone or is it just that because we cannot see, hear or touch something, we need proof? This perhaps, is a matter of faith and also a matter of our own reality.
People often want what they cannot have or desire to be able to do what they are incapable of doing. For Jon Soeder, life is a not so simple when it comes to being truly gifted. What some may consider his gift a novelty, others like Jon realize that it is something that needs to be treated with great care, not manipulated for material gain and must always be respected.

Great article and segment with Jon! I related to your comment about people connecting with more animals than humans and it reminded me of the days when I was a mobile groomer. After having spent many years in Corporate America and forced to change my lifestyle due to debilitating health issues, I found it WONDERFUL to work with animals. It was so rewarding to get a lick ‘kiss’ from them as I spoke to them and told them how beautiful they were. Animals give so much to so many when you let them. They are God’s gift!
Perhaps because animals love is unconditional and they can’t talk back to us? What’s interesting is a lot of responsibility comes with pet ownership. I have had at least one dog (currently two) my whole life. They give much without asking much in return. They can also help bring balance to one’s life. Despite this though, they should not be perceived as a supplement for healthy relationships with people.
Personally, my vision toward animals is the same toward a baby, both they are sharing innocence, weakness, Inability to self-determination,… That’s why it is a huge responsibility to adopt a baby neither an animal, that’s why I feel pity when I see some of those creatures not given the right they should have …!
Having been raised on a farm, I see animals – not as pets – but as contributing members of society. When we take care of them, they care of us, and we continue to take care of them. However, I would disagree that their is no racicm or bullying among animals. Hello, survival of the fittest? There are no vegans among carnivores, and there is a definite social order among most herds. I would NEVER want to be an animal and be ruled by instinct, eating my own lover after mating, or fighting my own pups for food. This all seems a little too touchy-feely for this country girl. I love animals and don’t want to see them hurt, but we cannot classify their behavior in human terms or perspectives, because they are not human.
Hi country girl,
Thanks so much for your comment. You are right that we cannot classify animal behavior in human terms and on that point I completely agree. Racism is a completely different concept than social orders in groups. For me, social order practices are like duties, where each member in the group is assigned different tasks.
Whales, for example, do demonstrate a social hierarchy and different whales provide different functions of rearing their young. Grey whales send young males into the San Ignacio lagoon in Baja, California first, to look for and chase out killer whale predators. Is that racist? No, it is a function of a group operating in unison with each other. It demonstrates a very high form of intelligence.
Animals display different reactions to life simply, because of the prevailing conditions of the environment they live in. For example, polar bears and grizzlies will feed on their young in times of extreme famine. There are reasons for that and actually not just an act of insanity.
In our own human culture though, we definitely demonstrate acts of insanity against our own kind, and in many cases with pleasure. Look what we have done to races unlike our own! History is littered with their bodies. Religious wars are the most violent in our history.
The concept of bullying is a human one. Male rams, fight with each other for dominance of a herd. Is that bullying? No.
And as far as vegans are concerned, even whales eat krill. But to confuse a vegan with a carnivore or that it is wrong to be a vegan are actually two dissimilar things and with entirely different reasons. Human vegans do so out of choice, as it is a conscious decision and a statement as to their personal beliefs regarding the high values they hold for all life. One argument is “well, why do they eat plants – that is life too!” That comment is the extreme. It honestly boils down to personal choices.
Unfortunately you could take your later comments or find in the news somewhere, where a human being acts only on instinct, harming or killing for pleasure. Our prisons are full of them. And truth be told, cannibalism is an accepted practice in some cultures, even to this day. And as far as fighting your own pups for food, have you ever watched how families fight over a will? LOL
So again, thanks for your opinions as they are true for you. Just as my opinions and observations are true for me!
