As defined by Joseph Campbell, the grail is the symbol for the achievement of the highest human spiritual potential. Sir Percival became the grail king after realizing the grail's true meaning.

"Only the Grail can redeem the Wasteland, yet what is the Wasteland but the absence of the Grail? Before this, Parzival lived in the Wasteland, but did not suffer it; now he experiences the anguish of that life and so takes on symbolically the wound of the Grail king whose maiming is the expression of the Wasteland. For only when Parzival has healed himself will he be able to heal Anfortas and take upon himself the role of king. But what is the Wasteland? For Campbell it is simply the inauthentic life, a state of being which is barren of the truth of who you are."

@TheCobbler,
What animal is 'dumb'?

And you are reiterating others' views, combined with your 'evolution' acceptance of.

@TheCobbler,
And you're happy to post a silly photo to support your views.
Rather than contest the 'operative'.

@mark noble,
I really don't think animals are "dumb" they perfectly compliment our world and are equally as great an asset to the planet.

I also knew I was treading a thin line and I knew someone would call me up on it. I am a sincere animal rights advocate so you are, barking up the wrong tree. Smile

Dumb means incapable of speech--all that dumb animals means is animals which are incapable of speech.

@Setanta,
That is what I meant Set yet, animal love transcends speech and intelligence.

@TheCobbler,
It's not 'our' world - And you said 'dumb' animal, not me.
'animal rights advocate'?
So you choose 'their' 'rights'?
Good for them!

@Setanta,
Set, 'dumb animals' does 'literally' mean 'speechless' - Back-off a minute, and place in context 'just once', please.
The poster is directing us toward the significance of 'lesser' beings than humans, not their 'communicationable' abilities.

@mark noble,
We are stewards of this earth and whether that privilege makes us dumb or superior depends on how we act and behave.

Humans can be dumb animals too. Smile

@TheCobbler,
There is something special about dogs.
The theist in me says they were specifically designed to be man's best friend.

@Leadfoot,

@farmerman,
Exactly. Also designed so they could be bred to any configuration and use desired. But all readily develop that attachment to humans.

Great design huh?

PS: It ain't easy being a theoretical theist. Theoretical physicists have it made in comparison, people eat their stuff right up.
