일찍이 정약용은 사람과 짐승의 다른 점은 사람은 양심을 가지고
있고 짐승은 그렇지 않다고 했습니다. 사람은 양파의 껍질을 버끼듯이
교육으로 나쁜 성질을 벗겨 내면 가운데 있는 양심이 나타나서 사람다워
지지만 짐승은 양심이 없어서 그렇게 되지 않는다는 이론입니다.

Of course, the human being is THE worst animal nature created, Dr. Ohn, though I don't know very much about true human nature. But, like other animals, human as well is born as a 'savage'- I also don't know its true meaning very much either but a sort of ' beast'?- so that it has to be educated to learn how to behave as a 'human' we call/claim, aren't they? Indeed, when you should look at all these Republicans' behavior in these days with no 'decency/dignity' whatsoever, I also wonder whether the meaning of 'integrity' in this Western culture is different from ours/understanding, either! I thought it should mean 'self-respect/esteem like '자존심' more or less but it doesn't seem to be that way. So I am skeptical whether '양파의 껍질을 버끼듯이 교육으로 나쁜 성질을 벗겨 내면 가운데 있는 양심이 나타나서 사람다워지다' is true for this human garbage born with NO 양심 (?), I guess! Perhaps bad genes would make the creature different, who knows? If I am wrong, correct me, doc.

This is one of the fundamental perspectives looking at humans we medical students can
easily understand. The discussion certainly makes all humans stop and think of
all the man-created flaws in our civilization, which we hope and pray won't be
self-destructive.
Squirrel Symbolism and Meaning
In some cultures, the squirrel is sacred to the God of fire and thunder. It lived in the ash tree and represented both- air and earth. By the Middle Age, the red squirrel symbolism turned negative; it became the symbol of the devil owing to its lightning-fast speed and fiery red color.
What does squirrel mean if you dream of it or see it often? Squirrels are a symbol of preparedness. They indicate saving up for a rainy day. You can always see them stocking up on nuts for the cold, dark winter days ahead.
Therefore, seeing a squirrel could mean that you must invest in your present for a better tomorrow. It may mean working, hard, or even multi-tasking for a better future.
Squirrels are also playful by nature. You will always see them chasing their friends, jumping up and down a tree, and engaging in other playful antics. So, seeing a squirrel in your dreams could be an indication that you will soon meet your friends.
Alternatively, it might mean that you are working too hard, are too serious, or that you need to relax a bit and have some fun.
Squirrels also represent an abundance of money, food, warmth, love, health, comfort, and rest. They are a good representation of hard work and determination. Seeing one means: no dilly-dallying around – get the job done!
