I did not say humans are "worse off". That may be
part of your inability to work t his through.
Lets try a rephrase. People who do deliberate harm are
are lower than any animal.
As for explain why?
No, I wont. If you cannot figure it out, you cannot.
It is, though, stone obvious.
So you might take your failure in hand, and see
if it maybe says something about your other failures
to get what is being said here.
That way of thinking doesn't make sense. It reminds me of religious, "if you don't get it, then you will never know." It makes everyone who does not have your train of thinking is not worth your explanation.
I've been a teacher and I am one to explain things (well, I try to keep it short) because I know people don't see "common sense" as I do. For example, I believe it is common sense that people should love other people as human beings. Since it's not about me, if someone challenges me with it, I can clarify how I feel without blaming them for "not getting it" type of thing. It's a sour thought mindset, and I'm just being blunt, not helpful in communication.

With that said, I do not agree. That does not mean I do not understand you. It means I am having a full conversation of why and how you think this way. It's challenging me to think differently than I would if I were in my own little bubble.
So. Since people and humans can do harm, I see no difference. If a dog killed me and a human killed me, the result is the same. So, in both cases, I will not treat the dog any "nicer" than I would a human that is a threat to my life. I see them just the same in those regards.
I'm not animal lover by no means. I do believe (psychological standpoint as well) that we are social beings. We tend to help each other automatically when we see someone in danger. That's what I experienced and observed. We don't have to call that love (if that's a trigger word/my words) but it is still love (maybe unconditional, I don't know) nonetheless. Love for humanity or however one would phrase it.
To continue, because of the above, I feel enemy is a strong word. I don't know if I'm "able" to love someone who harmed me but it is not my morals. I think there's a difference between not liking (my words) someone because they harm you (plural/people in general) out of automatic response to survival than it is as being part of your (people's) values.
If it's an automatic response to survival and calling someone enemy is how one responses, that's fine. Actually having that as your (people's) values and morals is what I'm getting at.
Different views doesn't mean I don't understand you. I just like to understand other people's point of view on things even we understand stuff different.
