That's a good one. As an animal lover, I always feel we are in no way superior than animals. We are superior only in our world. Our intelligence doesn't serve them. They never depend on us. Rather we do.

We think we humans are superior to every other being in this universe. How come this? Think how a virus works, for that matter. Thanks for your analytical feedback Rose Marie. Liked
