What Are We? I would like to express that these are just thoughts, and upon reading them they should be taken at face value. Some may be of use, some may be dangerous to the human mind. Take them at face value. As an animal I was quite concerned one early morning, when realising that waking up during darkness, seemed rather unnatural. My thoughts were that it was not right that we should be awakening when all other animals are asleep. More concerning was when I walked out the front door, I saw a nocturnal animal (a Fox)! Then I snapped into reality and realised that I had to earn money.
