About This Quote
Animals in general are born who they are, accept it, and that is that. They live with greater peace than people do. What a person is is a result of the experiences they have had in life. If they have been mistreated, have been treated unfairly, or have been raised in a negative environment, then they will be treated unfairly. If they have been loved and shown kindness, then they will be loving and kind to others.
