on human nature..

i think the saddest commentary on the nature of man is that all animals, be it the mighty tiger or the giant among beasts-the elephant or tiniest of birds or the dog whom we have 'tamed'-is that they consider us their natural enemy. That they know us in fear not in trust. That we are the face of terror..not kindness.
