Apologies in advance for a religious post. I think it&#x27;s important I study philosophy as every time our discovery of science advances, our religion takes a step back, taking back its wisdom.<p>We&#x27;re all different, and yet we will accept many beings can experience life in the same form we can - we see, hear, touch, taste, smell, feel. I think if we don&#x27;t discriminate between humans &amp; non-humans, then we won&#x27;t have problems between different varieties of humans.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.taoism.net&#x2F;ttc&#x2F;complete.htm" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.taoism.net&#x2F;ttc&#x2F;complete.htm</a><p><pre><code>    When the world knows beauty as beauty, ugliness arises
    When it knows good as good, evil arises
    Thus being and non-being produce each other
    Difficult and easy bring about each other
    Long and short reveal each other
    High and low support each other
    Music and voice harmonize each other
    Front and back follow each other
    Therefore the sages:
    Manage the work of detached actions
    Conduct the teaching of no words
    They work with myriad things but do not control
    They create but do not possess
    They act but do not presume
    They succeed but do not dwell on success
    It is because they do not dwell on success
    That it never goes away

How I understand the &quot;God created man in His own image, in the image of God&quot; saying is: We&#x27;re all shards of the same universe, each of us representing different facet of that universe. As Carl Sagan once said, &quot;We are a way for the Cosmos to know itself.&quot;. So when I&#x27;m interacting with someone, or a cat, or a tree, I sometimes feel like I&#x27;m seeing one side of, well, One.
