If there is one thing I have come to understand in my dealing with
not only my own, but my good friends mental illnesses, is the
differences between man and beast. it is not language or use of tools
that separates us. It is simply being able to rationalize any given
situation and turn from behavior that is irrational and instinctive.
In the barnyard, a chicken will be perceived as having a fault, a speck of blood on it's plumage. This is evolution's way of telling a mindless animal that this animal is not suitable for reproduction or sharing at the food trough. The rest of the chickens take it upon themselves to kill that chicken by pecking it to death. Soon, in doing so, they also get blood on their plumage and a massacre begins until hundreds of chickens are dead.

We as humans, at some time were in such perilously low numbers that a
new perception came to light. We do not have to destroy the weak to
protect ourselves. We can give them dignity and a right to exist, even
if their plumage is not perfect.
This was the birth of the rational mind. All growth, and everything we are as a species grew from that moment. The only time we are in peril as a human species is when we adopt the basic instinct of a chicken and forget we are rational humans beings capable of accepting those different to us.
Recently I have seen a few "Straw Leaders" take a stand against people they do not know or understand. They see the spot of blood on the others plumage but forget the drenching of blood they were covered with in a former time and were spared. How quickly they devolve.
Turn your back on such people, their way is that of a mindless animal that knows not how to behave among civilized people. Once they realize they are being shunned for their lack of evolution as a human being, they will turn to education and learn the error of their ways. if not, they can rule a hen house full of chickens and never attain anything more. Don't be chicken. Be a rational human being.
