Default aristotle's rational man

what makes a man different from an animal?
aristotle argues it's his ablity to be rational.

i think that it's his specific want. an animal wants generalities, food, water, shelter. a person wants those same things, but more specifically, cookes, coke, and a condo.

this is the main component in rational. if you want something, like an xbox, you rationalize a way to get it. the want is driving your rationale.

what do you think?
there is nothing so useless as being effcient at that which should not be done at all.
