 “What makes us human is not our ability to feel pain but rather our capacity for love, compassion and empathy.”

 I think it's the power to grow from pain. To rise from the ashes...

 Animals can feel compassion and empathy. What is love? Does it require self-awareness?

 Thought the same, and I guess some animals can also feel some love for their children

 What makes us human is our ability to manipulate symbols, to think.

It is both a curse & blessing, the knowledge of good & evil.

Heaven & hell both exist in this realm. The line between good & evil exists in the heart in the heart of every man.

Bill Hicks put it best - it's just a ride.

 And what do you call it when six plus three (phone and alarm clock separately) can't wake you the heck up whilst your neighbours are well and truely up?

Because I don't think I "sleep"...
