The Holy Bible says,

Man's fate is like that of the animals;

the same fate awaits them both:

As one dies, so dies the other.

All have the same breath;

man has no advantage over the animal. (Ecclesiastes 3:19).

All go to the same place;

all come from dust,

and to dust all return. (Ecclesiastes 3:20).

Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward

and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth? (Ecclesiastes 3:21).

The dust returns to the ground it came from,

and the spirit returns to God who gave it. (Ecclesiates 12:7).

in one life we are human
in another we are animal
in another we are an insect
in another we are a tree
in another we are a rock
in another we are a river
in another are seed
in another we are a planet
in another we are a universe
in another we are a star
in another we are a lighthouse
in another we are darkness itself

untill in one life we finally see that we all belong to a great train of time in which the soul maybe one day can set itself free as it lives thru the many infinite life forms untill it reaches the end of the great train of time and finally sees that anything and everything living or dead , a rock, a blade grass, a milk bottle, an ant, a grain of sand ..........are also things that go to heaven . no matter how insignificant they may seem .............................
the only difference between a human and an animal is that animals have no need to declare their faith or what they believe in they do it instinctively without saying a single word
... if only humans could learn to do the same .........
