Do animals love I wonder?

Whenever I see two penguins walking side by side, both looking elegant in their shiny tuxedos, looking like the happiest creatures on Earth, I wonder. Being on the top of the food chain in the pyramid of sentient beings; if we're really the lucky ones. The society we have created for ourselves- wars we’ve invented, famine, pestilence, hate, apathy…All these things have become inherent in man, that sometimes I ‘ve been convinced into thinking that penguins would do a better job of ruling the world. But then again, when I think about it long and hard; I realize, maybe it’s these things that make it possible for love to exists. Experiencing hate teaches us compassion, living through hardships- sympathy. Amidst the storm of chaos and madness we find the essence of our humanity, we transcend the events, we overcome catastrophes, etc. We find out what it is to be human. If there’s anything I could say if I had to do it over again, is that the trip has definitely been worth it. I just hope that the second time around, I don’t come back as a tiny little sad speckled- bug, that is just begging to be crushed. That would truly be tragic.
