“We are more than hardwired instinct and passion.”
— Ray Bradbury
Simplified Meaning:
Humans are not just driven by basic instincts or strong emotions like animals might be. We have the ability to think, reflect, and make choices that go beyond our basic desires. For example, when someone feels angry, instead of lashing out, they can choose to stay calm and talk things through. This shows that people can control their actions and think about the consequences. Unlike animals acting purely on instinct, humans can use reason and make decisions based on values and logic. This ability can help us build better relationships and create a more thoughtful, kind world.
