Humans V/S Animals

Summary

The web content contrasts human emotional disconnection with the instinctual emotional responses of animals, as depicted in a TV movie and a wildlife documentary.

Abstract

The article presents a reflective comparison between human and animal emotions through the narrative of a family drama watched on TV and a wildlife scene of buffaloes and a tiger observed in a documentary. The human story reveals a once loving couple who grow distant and burdened by their child, while the animal scene shows a predator-prey interaction where a tiger attacks a buffalo calf, only to be killed by the herd. The author ponders whether humans are emotionally regressing, suggesting that animals, despite their lack of speech, may handle emotions more effectively than humans. The piece concludes with a nod to the author's other works and a call to explore more of their poetry and stories.

Opinions

The author implies that humans are becoming increasingly detached from their emotions, as evidenced by the family drama.
Animals are portrayed as having a more authentic and collective response to emotional situations, such as the buffaloes defending one of their own.
There is a subtle critique of human emotional intelligence in comparison to animals, which act on instinct and protect their own without hesitation.
The author seems to admire the straightforwardness and purity of animal emotions, contrasting it with the complexity and often dysfunction of human relationships.
The piece suggests that humans could learn from the emotional responses of animals, emphasizing the importance of empathy and collective action.

A verse about the emotions in humans and animals

I am watching it on TV A movie about a family of three

Husband and wife once madly in love want each other to push and shove

Baby becomes their burden The strong bond between them is broken

I switch to another channel It says Planet animal A wild herd of buffaloes drinking water from a river Hiding in the tall grass is the predator

Tiger has its eyes on the calf Big cat attacks it with one leap and a half Getting grabbed by the throat, the calf calls the mother A group of buffalo kills the tiger together

Watching this, a question pops up into my mind Are human beings racing ahead or lagging behind Most of them these days don’t understand emotions, yes it is true Speechless animals do this job better than humans do
