"Observe the herd as it grazes past you: it cannot distinguish yesterday from today, leaps about, eats, sleeps, digests, leaps some more, and carries on like this from mourning to night from day to day, tethered by the short leash of its pleasures and displeasures to the stake of the moment, and thus it is nether melancholy nor bored. It is hard on the human being to observe this, because he boasts about the superiority of his humanity over animals and yet looks enviously upon their happiness."
------Friedrich Nietzsche
