Strange Animals

We have the capacity for typically animal behaviour. We are territorial, jealous, and violent. We are preoccupied with sexual conquest and material hoarding.

At our corporate worst, we are sub-animal, a raging virus sweeping across the earth, an infection, multiplying, destroying, eating, burning, a terminal illness the planet has somehow contracted.

But we are strange animals. Because at our best we will lay down our lives for another, will courageously risk everything in the rescue of a complete stranger, will forsake conquest for a life long promise.

It is this strange duality that I feel marks us as different, often for worse, sometimes for better.

This is Strange Animal.
