"Language and hypnosis form the foundation on which humans create worlds of consciousness and of fantasy which no other animals seem able to achieve. 

That is, however language appeared -- and I think it represented the evolutionary equivalent of a quantum jump -- it allowed people to do what no other known animals seem to do, namely to visualize and/or verbally "contemplate" something that is not present before their senses.  This fantasy or reflection or cogitation allows us, then, to compare the imagined with the experienced. 

Animals only suffer physical pain; humans suffer both physical pain and an additional psychological pain from the thought (verbal construct), "I should not have to suffer this."

This causes us to struggle for social progress, better medicine etc., but it also causes us to feel the same bitter sense of "injustice" or "wrongness" when there is nothing concretely that can be done to ease the pain."  --Robert Anton Wilson

“If you assume that there is no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world.”

"The basic problem is to understand that there are no such things as things; that is to say separate things, separate events. That is only a way of talking. What do you mean by a thing? A thing is a noun. A noun isn't a part of nature it's a part of speech. There are no nouns in the physical world. There are no separate things in the physical world either."  --Alan Watts

It fucks up our judgment of them. We so badly want to think in black and white.

I agree with you Tubs.  I am currently learning about serial killers and pedophiles, and why many of them do the things they do.

I don't want to dislike someone because of their acts, I don't agree with their acts, but I want to see the person, see past the damage.  Some people think I am crazy in holding this view, but I wont change.  I think much can be learned from understanding why these types of people do the things they do.
