Humans, or Animals?

English book, p. 316

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

So long as you avoid provoking the other person, he remains a human being. But no sooner do you provoke him than that very same person will descend to the level of animals. Now his nature has been derailed. A train that derails will not only destroy itself, but will cause destruction to others as well. Awaken human nature in others. Let the animal nature remain dormant. This is the only certain formula for a harmonious social existence.
