Although I do not think that humans are better than animals, I also feel that we are giving ourselves too little credit. Cats and dogs might not be killing
each other with bombs or arguing about abortion rights but they also don’t live in huge complex societies consisting of millions or billions of strangers. Will they fare better than us if they take over the earth? I don’t know, honestly. #FikiranJamban#showerthoughts
