Finality

Finality also illuminates the difference between humans and other animals, all of which lack intellection: while not all engineers build the same bridges or painters the same portrait, various animal species do the same thing. You will encounter no rebellious, avante garde bee who decides instead of hives and honey to build nests or dig in the ground for acorns. Moreover, we as humans uniquely perceive the finality in the fact that even small children incessantly ask "why," precisely because they presuppose there is reason and intelligence behind all things.
