So your point is specifically that human love is greater than other mammalian love then?

I was replying to someone that said "it's the fact of our overall apathy and inability to love"...

I was trying to illustrate the great difficulty we have with loving life. It is greater than other animals' because we do not have to deal with our survival as directly as other species.

I think we would agree on the level of awareness and capacity to feel in animals. But I don't think it's 'flipped'. In fact what you said

seems to assume there is something intrinsically wrong with being "out of balance".

That's what I was talking about earlier. We shouldn't shame ourselves for having human sentience, and the desire and drive for exploration and experimentation that comes with it. We arose from nature, just like the other creatures, so how can we be so certain there isn't a natural purpose for our minds? Whether it arose from evolution, or an earlier purpose of some intelligent design, we can't deny human consciousness is natural and existing in nature.

Hell, even thinking in terms of us being "out of balance" limits us to our planet. But why is that necessary accurate? When we don't fully understand yet the full scope of how connected and interactive the bodies within the Universe are with each other. Perhaps development of intelligence and sentience (such us ours) is an inevitably evolution that occurs to expand the scope of that 'balance' to include an environment outside its native ecosystem.

Or something. I dunno. Either way I don't view my mind as negatively as some seem to be. Also we can be much more 'in balance' in terms of being ecologically friendly we just need the right people in the right political seats, and enough public to support it.

You just do not get it. Your attitude is exactly why the human race can't and won't survive.

Talk about the most ignorant statement. Your comment is so anthropocentric it is nauseating. It has manifest destiny written all over it.
