Are you better than a rat?

Interesting. I thought being selfish is survival instinct that stems from pre evolution.

Usually, I only respond when I see a cute cat video, but this clip did touch a soft spot in my heart.

But I'm not surprised leh, to be honest. I have ever scrutinised ants and how they operate, and it's also quite amazing how much teamwork the ants are capable of achieving to get things done. In fact, this is why I chose to be a Buddhist believing that there's Buddha potential in every sentient being, whether ant, rat, cat, elephant, or human being, etc. Everybody is teaching us in their own unique ways. We are also learning all the time.

It's quite hard for me to swallow that sort of teachings that suggest that other creatures in this world are created for the pleasure of mankind or God, it's quite cruel la. So, I chose to believe in Bodhicitta, and thank you for sharing this clip too, it made my evening a much brighter one.

Have a good Sunday.

think it's in their natural instinct to help
maybe not on all animals

sort of like having a compassion for fellow 'comrades'

Different leh, the rats are really companions together or nearby each other 24/7.

Humans mostly is just aquintances, bond cannot compare

Nice try, Main stream media tactics to try to make us guilty for being less “compassionate “

I will tell you this up front, for me I will only help my parents and siblings. For other may not even help their immediate family that is their choice.

but get this, I WILL NEVER HELP ACQUITTANCE OR OTHER PPL!

Here's some food for thought.

We can make AI with the same level of intellect (probably much more) or pseudo empathy as ants. Are they sentient or are they not.

I will choose to help ppl.
Its for myself.
Coz if I dont help, the person die, forever I will feel guilty and cannot slp well.
So better help for my own peace

pointless experiment, any human wld help a companion in most circumstances


shld put 3 rat, only one rat with abundant food in his chamber and another two poor undernourished rat with no food

put one of the undernourished rat free , chiu see which one the rat wld choose to save
