The Only Animal - Luís Fernando Verissimo (analogy)

in steemit •  8 years ago 

Man is the only animal that laughs at others. Man is the only animal that goes through another and pretends not to notice.
It is the only one who speaks a parrot.
It is the only one who likes escargots (outside, of course, the escargot).
It is the only one who thinks God is like him.
And it's the only ...
... Wearing
... Wearing other
... That undresses others
... You do what you love hidden
... That changes color when it shames
... Sitting and crossing her legs
... You know you'll die
... Thinking that is eternal
... That does not have a common language to all sorts
... That voluntarily tosa
... That profits from the eggs of other
... Who you think he is amphibious and drowns
... That has animals
... Playing in the animal
... Betting on other
... Buying antennas
... Which compares with others.
Man is not the only animal that feeds and cares for their young, but it's the only one who then uses it to emotional blackmail.
Not the one who kills, but is the one who sells the skin.
Not the one who kills, but is the one who sends kill.
And it is not the only ...
... Flying, but is the only one to for this
... Building home, but you are the one that needs lock
... Building home, but he is the one who spends fifteen years paying
... Fleeing the others, but is the only one who calls this strategic retreat
... Who betrays, pollutes and terrifies, but is the only one that is justified
... Swallowing frog, but is the only one who does this for nutritional value. [...]
