Summary

This quote highlights the idea that love is inherently natural but can also be enhanced and elevated through our imagination. Love is often seen as a profound and complex emotion that originates from our instinctual and biological nature. However, it is our creative imagination that adds depth, meaning, and beauty to love, turning it into something truly extraordinary. Similar to how an artist uses a canvas as a starting point and then decorates it with intricate embroidery, our imagination embellishes love and transforms it into something exquisite and unique.

Since we are not yet fully comfortable with the idea that people from the next village are as human as ourselves, it is presumptuous in the extreme to suppose we could ever look at sociable, tool-making creatures who arose from other evolutionary paths and see not beasts but brothers, not rivals by fellow pilgrims journeying to the shrine of intelligence. Yet that is what I see, or yearn to see. The difference between raman and varelse is not in the creature judged but in the creature judging, and when we declare an alien species to be raman, it does not mean that they have passed a threshold of moral maturity. It means that we have.
