Human Despair and Fatalism
Human beings display a unique capacity for despair and fatalism that is absent in the behavior of animals. Animals do not act against their own interests or commit suicide, suggesting a supernatural phenomenon influences human behavior. Unlike animals, humans are prone to despair, which can lead to a sense of self-pity or fatalism in the face of adversity, while animals accept their fate without such emotional complexity.
