Modern day physicists classify all universal elements into either matter or energy; therefore, to define the most basic form of humanity, we must begin by defining humans as matter because we have mass and energy because we can move. We classify as living because we can biologically grow: furthermore, we classify as animals because we can actively move. Although science categorizes us as matter, energy, life, and animals, our need for a feeling of spiritual, mental, emotional, social, and physical significance, specifies our humanity.

Because animals naturally use their ID to survive by fulfilling their instinctual hunger, sexual desires, and shelter needs, the ego alone separates us from animals.
