Hey
What makes a man? Is it the power in his hands? Is it his quest for glory? Give it all you've got, to fight to the top So we can know your story
Now you're a man
A man, man man Now you're a man
A manny manny man A man man man
You are now a man You're a man Now you're a man
Live it, Live it
What make a man? Is it the woman in his arms? Just cause she has big titties? Or is it the way he fights every day? ....No, it's probably the titties
Now you're a man
A man, man man Now you're a man-man
Man-man man-man man Now you're a man
M-A-N, man Man, man-man man Now you're a man

i think in the beginning, people are crafted by influences cast upon them by surrounding peoples or culture. most people will develop hobbies and goals and learn how to act through being raised by their parents but it wont be until they encounter their first close friends that they start to change psychologically and aquire music tastes, cliques, clothing styles, so on and so forth...
and i think that these tastes and hobbies reflect what enviroments & experiences they encounter. people with hobbies such as sports obviously were surrounded by a father & friends who also enjoyed the sport or from seeing it on television. a person interested in religion & philosophy is somebody who grew up being unsure or untaught of what to believe, or didnt achieve enough depth to believe it and so therefore try and search themselves.
but this is just a guess.

1) Suicide (Show me an animal that has so much freedom that it can/will kill itself) 2) Modeling (math and other languages) (As far as I can tell, we are the only species which spend our entire lives trying to model everything. It is ingraved into our thought due to the fact that we model our own senses with language constructs.) 3) Laughter (Although some monkey's laugh, it is mostly only slapstick comedy. I have never heard of a monkey stuck in laughter)

There is a type of walrus that kills itself by sliding off of cliffs. Modeling...As like most mammals, we learn by imitation Laughter...How do we know that dogs dont "laugh"? Or anything else for that matter?
Besides..the "question" didnt ask what "differs" man from nature...just what he is as a person/spirit.

Laughter...How do we know that dogs dont "laugh"? Or anything else for that matter?
Actually, I remember reading long ago, about "dog-language", etc. Somewhere in the book/article, it mentioned that panting [like a dog] loudly and rapidly translates to "laughing" in dog's language. I remember testing that theory out for myself with several dogs - it got some interesting reactions from the dogs, to say the least. For the most part, they typically became somewhat "excited" and showed in increase in playful/aggressive behavior.

I never knew that other animals laughed, very interesting. Also I figured that the topic really was what differs a man from "nature" since that is what makes a man a man and not a _______. I just assumed that no other animal really possessed the intelligence to laugh. Laughter is such a strange expression/emotion.

Sir, if you're interested in the etymology of my name I would be more than pleased to provide the illuminating information which envelopes it like a damp vagina. Until then, please refrain from irrationally speculating beyond the realm of your data.

Oh! I know! It's a compound-word derived from three amalgam root words that symbolize the unique trinity of your life; Nerd, Womb and Anger. The "le" between Nerd and Womb was added for the sake of phonetic fluidity. Righty?
Oh enlighten me, Nerdle.
