Are animals evil? Is the lion who eats the gazelle a murderer? Is the cat that kills the fifth mouse of the hour a fiend? We are animals and humans at the same time, and while the relative stances of good and evil may service us when we consider ourselves human, they become meaningless when we return to our animal roots. There is no good or evil in the humanless world, just action and reaction.
Xev, I love the Shakespeare quote. Which play is it from? I haven't read enough of him, I know more than the average joe...but...meh. I have no idea what Hamlet is about. There's an example of the extent of my knowledge regarding his works. Sure, I know the Tempest, Midsummer Night's Dream, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, but anything else is a complete blank.
Also...Redoubtable, is Hobbes any good? We talk about him a lot in my history class, and the book Leviathan has been mentioned. Is it a readable book, when, say, compared to--I don't know, anything written by Kant?
