I find it easy to comprehend my nature as an animal. And I find it very difficult to conceive of myself as other than an animal - which is implied by a human/animal dichotomy.

Funny you should say that. When I first read Hermann Hesse's 'Steppenwolf,' which was written almost 40 years before I was born, I could have sworn that book was written about and for me. The man and the animal. Good versus evil. Diligence and temptation. Still haven't calmed the beast or have become astute to my(self).
