Do you feel as if humans are more important than all other creations in the universe? What shapes your opinion? Do you feel as if your opinion has the potential to make life difficult for others who exist in the universe? Does your opinion work to your advantage?

Humans are in no way more important than the rest of the other creations in the universe. This is so because both humans and other living beings must enjoy the same right to life and freedom, which are essential for the balance of life systems on the planet and the peaceful coexistence between species.

No specific situation gives humans any power or superiority over the rest of the species, other than the very nature of each living being and the food relationships between species. Thus, man has certain animals and vegetables for his food, as other animals do among themselves, but in no way does this imply another type of superiority at a general level.

Furthermore, the protection of the diversity of species and living beings is necessary for the conservation of biological stability in the universe, which ultimately contributes to the well-being and quality of life of all species.

Thinking in this way can be positive if awareness is raised regarding this situation and positive actions are promoted that generate respect for the life of species and biological diversity.
