Are we human? Or are we dancer?... Wait, i mean Animal!

Uff.The Killers. I love and adore their song, Human. It can be taken so many ways. Are we humans, able to adapt? Or are we dancers, moving through our choreographed steps, no mistakes, no changes? Or are we humans, unsure and clumsy? Or are we dancers, able to flow and be free, moving to the music of life? (personally, i like the second one better, but that's because I'm a dancer. And therefore, biased.)

But are we humans, or animals? We may have the ability to understand complex thoughts, invent, change, have coherent and intelligent thought and ideas. But what separates us from animals? We have the same basic needs.To eat. To sleep. To reproduce. To survive. Surprisingly, only 2% of DNA separates us from the common household fly. (thanks Mr. Hanson!) Some people are more animal like than others... Some let themselves be taken over by animistic thoughts and actions. Yet, one thing separates us totally, in my opinion. And yes, now I'm about to pull a Harry Potter. (which isn't my fault, it's Kate's. High Kick music anyone? Kicks and giggles(: ya dance team!) But it's love. It's affection for our offspring, and family. It's having a baby crush on someone, it's the love and patience in my mom's eyes when I'm being stupid, it's the amusement and enjoyment in my dad's eyes when i shoot the pistol, screaming like a girl. (shooting pumpkins- most fun of November..! For right now(: like five days until Skillet!! And like a week till matching tattoos! Boys..) It's how much my grandma loves it when we sit on the beach for hours and talk about her childhood. It's when your heart stops when you hear those words, those words that will forever change your life.

So are we human? Or are we dancer? Or are we, quite simply, animals with larger brains?

I'm a dancer, and that's all i know.
