HUMAN & OTHERS
'Generally speaking, there is nothing in man that does not also exist in higher stages of animals, vertebrates, and insects. There is the desire to satisfy needs and join in societies, and some form of economy.' Ali Izetbegovic, quoted by Mohamed, my next door blogger. Interesting statment.
I am just wondering, if this statment should be written in a different way. Very roughly, something like, 'Man's nature encompasses/has all the stages of animals, angels and Jin.'

Jin, hmm... who are they? Idon't really know how to say it. But they are not demons in the negative sense.
We were brought up to think of Jin as unseen creatures of fire nature. Iblis or satan is among 'this category', but this doesn't mean that all jin are bad or evil. They are bad jin and good jin. Same like human. In fact, Jin is the closest to Human, in the sense they have 'knowing', not like angels who just do what they are ordered. (This is the most accurate definition I could give you. Do I fully understand these things, not fully--not sure if I should care to understand it in the first place.)
