People are not like animals. They have brains, and they can think and analyse things, they're acting after considering the situation that they're stuck into and not by instinct.

Spirits are not like people. They're souls that are wandering between the far and the near shore. They have magic powers that they can use, to make sure that balance won't be broken.

Animals, are not like spirits. They act by instinct and have powers that were given to them from nature...

And... What am I?
Who knows, indeed?
