    1. Certainly (or at lest almost certainly) you are correct about sentiment being a purely human construct. But anthropomorphism is so much fun and almost impossible to resist. Of course for a lot of humans, that universal imperative to procreate takes us out of the rational or even sentimental realm for a while. Many a human has crashed and burned by letting that drive overwhelm all other inputs like that dragonfly seems to have done. That loneliest whale story is simply another case study in anthropomorphism perhaps.
