Our expression and our words never coincide, which is why the animals don't understand us.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Human language appears to be a unique phenomenon, without significant analogue in the animal world.
We are a unique ape. We have language. Other animals have systems of communication that fall far short of that. They don't have the same ability to communicate complicated conditionals and what-ifs and talk about things that are not present.
Human language is lit with animal life: we play cats-cradle or have hare-brained ideas; we speak of badgering, or outfoxing someone; to squirrel something away and to ferret it out.
It's perfectly obvious that there is some genetic factor that distinguishes humans from other animals and that it is language-specific. The theory of that genetic component, whatever it turns out to be, is what is called universal grammar.
When we have relationships with animals, we often make up who they are.
How strangely do we diminish a thing as soon as we try to express it in words.
I assume that we are all limited by our own brains and experiences and can only understand other people and other creatures through a kind of translation that brings them closer to us.
Animals mean everything to me. We have to be their voice and protectors.
Whether animals admit it or not, they and I communicate.
An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language.
