looking down on birds. (as animals, "below us" in biblical kingdoms.)

Thinking subjective interpretation and objective truth are the same

Lusting to be something other than what he is - ie god, ubermensch, wolf, ....
Clarify, Verify, Instill, and Reinforce the Perception of Hopes and Threats unto Anentropic Harmony 
Else
From THIS age of sleep, Homo-sapien shall never awake.
The Wise gather together to help one another in EVERY aspect of living.
You are always more insecure than you think, just not by what you think.
The only absolute certainty is formed by the absolute lack of alternatives.
It is not merely "do what works", but "to accomplish what purpose in what time frame at what cost".
As long as the authority is secretive, the population will be subjugated.
Amid the lack of certainty, put faith in the wiser to believe.
Devil's Motto: Make it look good, safe, innocent, and wise.. until it is too late to choose otherwise.
The Real God ≡ The reason/cause for the Universe being what it is = "The situation cannot be what it is and also remain as it is".

There could also be a positive slant to this.
Fighting for the rights of animals knowing that once they are not seen as important we too may at some point be on the way out.
That makes us all too or more than human.

"Look closely. The beautiful may be small."
"Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the oftener and more steadily we reflect on them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me."
“Whereas the beautiful is limited, the sublime is limitless, so that the mind in the presence of the sublime, attempting to imagine what it cannot, has pain in the failure but pleasure in contemplating the immensity of the attempt.”
Immanuel Kant

Now that may reversely mean they are on the way in, depending where they are coming from, because they have been out to begin with in which case, coming and going may only be a relative referentiality.
For magpies flying into a room may mean a completely different experience, ' it means ; to them, going into a place outside their element.
It's elementary for them.
