One of the saddest things about being human is ...we know we're going to die. But ... what if we think about other animals. I don't think woodlice know they're going to die. I don't think that worms do either. Or snakes. But at some point in the progress of evolution, surely at some point in the trajectory, there's a strong suggestion that ,say, horses do. Birds, of course, will see dead birds. And they'll see dead chicks in the nest. And they'll see dead birds on the ground and start to eat them. Some birds even kill other birds. And eat them. BUT ..does that mean that they "know" about their eventual death ?? That's probably something we'll never know. I've got quite a few bird skulls .... and I wonder about all the thousands of miles they might have travelled over oceans and continents. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, that was all rather gloomy... so we want an uplifting bit of music...... Wir sind Helden ... Lass uns verschwinden .... "let us disappear" .... Those "Möwen" by the way, are seagulls.
