Do you think that people have it pretty easy compared to other animals in nature?

Okay, I'm dumb, so you'll have to whittle this "vague" question down a bit? "Easy" how? Survival(predator/prey/lifespan), mating, finding a mate, foraging for food? Which category would you like to discuss?

As this is a dating/social site, it is obviously that she is talking about foraging isn't it?

Okay, lets have a comparison. Human or a duck? Who has it easier, and why?

Okay, I think the duck has it easier, especially when it comes to mating. Interesting too, that often in the bird kingdom, especially amongst ducks that the males are the ones gussied up in pretty colors to attract a mate, instead of the other way around like in most human cultures. We humans tend to over-complicate things when it comes to finding a mate. Ducks don't seem too distressed about what's for dinner, either.laugh

Animals have it easier because they use instinct and are closer to the earth than we are...they don't try to figure things out like we do. They just roll with the flow where as we have to logically figure everything out. It may seem harsh to us..they just live in the moment. We should all learn from them..

Animals know the time and place to migrate, but man cannot find his way without a compass or the stars. Animals live well without the need of tools or weapons. Man cannot. Animals are happy and contented in their environment. Man is not. Animals live among their families all their lives. Man does not. Animals have found the right way to live with their limitations and skills without rancor or strife. Man has not.

Yes people (humans) have it easier. They can destroy nature when they feel like it. I had a birds nest in my hallway and know it took weeks for the nest to be ready. The HOA where I live blew it down. Remains of broken eggs are on the floor.

People buy groceries at stores. Nature has to hunt or find ways of getting food. Sometimes nature literally starves.

A movie by National Geograhic made me appreciate penguins more. March Of The Penguins.

no, as the saying goes,, ignorance is bliss...

all animals have to deal with is eat or be eaten,,,no stress about their soul or the consequences of their actions,,,,

Animals don't appear to pollute their own environment to the grand scale that humans do.

I don't believe nature is ignorant. All animals know or sense when danger is around.

Animals (nature) don't have souls? I disagree with that also.
