LIFE | Do animals and plants have emotions? / 动植物也有情感么？

 

Do animals and plants also have emotions? Cure [Anthropocentrism] - "80% of animal babies in nature end up in the stomachs of predators. We humans are also a member of predators. Whether we are pure vegetarians, vegetarians or carnivores, in order to survive , must be killed. Even every piece of chocolate comes from animals and plants that have been crushed, heated and reshaped.

By definition, almost all living things have killing behaviors. After all, only plants can use their own chloroplasts to absorb and convert solar energy. Human beings have a desire to protect animals, which does not mean that animals will protect us. Our tendency to belittle animals is actually a sign of fear of losing our specialness as humans.

Humans' sense of self-worth is based on the mind, not the senses; however, our senses are actually duller than those of many animals. We'd better put down our arrogance and cruelty towards animals and plants. Until one day in the future when humans can live without relying on animals and plants, we can choose to respect and discover the shining points of other species: earthworms, snails, ants in the park after the rain The dreams, desires, happiness and joy of mammals, birds and even plants can be the source of our happiness. ” 🙏 🌱

动植物也有情感么？治愈【人类中心主义】——“自然界80%的动物幼崽最后魂归之处，都是捕食者的胃袋。我们人类也是捕食者的一员。无论是纯素食、素食还是肉食者，为了生存，都必须杀戮。甚至每一块巧克力都来自于被粉碎，加热再成型的动植物。

从定义看，几乎所有生物都有杀戮行为，毕竟只有植物可以利用自身的叶绿体来吸收和转化太阳能。人类对动物有保护欲，不等同于动物也会保护我们。我们一味地贬低动物实际上是种害怕的表现，我们害怕失去自己作为人类的特殊性。

人类的自我价值感建立在头脑，而并非感官上；然而，我们人类的感官其实比很多动物都要迟钝。我们最好放下对动植物的傲慢和残忍，在人类可以不依靠动植物过活的未来的某一天之前，我们可以选择尊重，发现其他物种的闪光点：在雨后公园里的蚯蚓，蜗牛，蚂蚁，哺乳动物，鸟类甚至植物的梦境，渴望，幸福和愉悦，都可以是我们快乐的源泉。” 🙏 🌱
