Love

I am highly skeptical of the claim that human is unique and superior to other living organisms on Earth, and more so of the claim that human is superior because he has developed love. I even more abhor people who conceitedly claim that human is superior because he has developed love on the premise that God created man with such capability of developing love, and that God created man in His own image which is love. There are so many different claims, Christian or otherwise, that sell human love. Perhaps we are a bit different, but not superior, because we have developed rationality and had a pair of dexterous hands; but I don't think it defensible to claim that our rationality and love ensue from a higher being and automatically we become superior to other living organisms, which, you may wish to say generally, in certain sense, live on instinct that in fact appears to fare far better than human beings. I need to emphasise the word automatically. For man is not automatically superior because he is created to bear these attributes, it is ironic to believe that the ability to love that a man bears positions himself on the top of the planet, let alone managing the planet.

I qualify my statement by saying in a certain sense, organisms live on instinct fare better. In what sense? You would probably ask. In the sense as a living organism to such extent that it lives its life in full. I think only man behaves obnoxiously or only man can behave in such a manner that makes decent fellow men sick. Because of rationality and love, man is rotten. Alas, I am not going to be accepted if decency is no longer warranted in the presence of rationality and love. Who will forgive me debasing the foundation of humanity. Why can the availability of rationality and love, such superior attributes, make man rot? The only explanation is that not all men are created with these attributes. A certain percentage of men are defected items, which have no such organs that accommodate love or trigger rationality. The rotten organs they have are those who imitate love and rationality by applying sub-human attributes which are the worst in any conscious beings and living organisms.
