I'm simply saying that we need to strive for intelect and love (ect.) solely because they are the things that separate us from the animals. There's a rift in between what we as humans poses and what the animals poses. We can think and undergo extreme emotion where as animals just sink into lust and plain survival.
It's slightly chaotic because in order to see the entirety of life it is essencially necessary to accept the good and bad within us. It is the choices we make that truely define us as good or evil. Everyone has the basic potential, but it is the choice that separates.
If someone were to go against their mind and heart to harm another person, it is simply a choice that person makes that further plunges him into the pool or animals. I'm saying that if we let ourselves fall into crime, sin, call it what you will, we can never truely develope what makes us human.
I hope that helped you out, thank you for your insightful post.
