"What is the difference between humans and animals?" A very common question raised by elementary school children when they were introduced to Natural Science by their teachers. Very simply, the teacher will definitely give answers that are in accordance with the contents of the science textbooks he learned and which are easily understood by the child, for example, humans are good at laughing, Having feelings of shame, being able to distinguish between good and bad, good at making things art and so on. All explanations are very long and there is no end if new questions arise from the child.

In the concept of philosophy, the answer is quite simple, maybe this answer is rarely thought of by most intelligent people who do not want to think deeply in a narrow scope. Actually we do not need to bother thinking about what answers are right to give a picture of the differences between humans and animals, because the most logical, simple and very identical answer to humans is "Man is a asker"

In the book "Today's Philosophy" the work of Dr. DR. R.F Beerling wrote that Sartre, a French philosopher, said that "consciousness in humans is really asking questions"

If something is questioned, there will always be 3 aspects. That is 1) someone who asks, namely human 2) something that is asked, usually in the most general sense, and 3) something that is the subject of the question, maybe that is the meaning / the purpose / result of the fact being asked.

The answers that everyone gives can always be different because everyone's view of something will not be nearly the same, but the question is always the same. Before all that he did not understand clearly and clearly the intent and purpose, humans will never stop asking questions and keep asking. So, the question will not be asked by humans if the reality experienced by humans is clear, because the purpose of the question is to explain reality. By answering the questions, man finds the truth. So he gets satisfaction from the answers he already knows.

In essence, "Know" is a satisfaction that is rarely realized by humans in general. That is human.
