Humans are supreme among creatures, but they need a boost.

We complain about everything without any reasonable explanation. It is a habit, not a reality.
We had no time to understand our existence on this earth in this epoch at a particular place. We see others, compare, start complaining, and go deep with our worries.
Just know one thing.
Humans are free to program themselves to live as they choose. Some things are genetically grown, like skin colour, the shape of faces, and height, but many things, like intelligence, wisdom, and vision, are nurtured, learned, expanded, altered, or unlearned as we grow.
We work on food, shelter, safety, movements, prevention, innovation, and other changes that are not only visible but also add more comfort to our lives. We are paying attention to the flow of rivers, preserving biodiversity, balancing ecosystems, and even enhancing their spheres of smooth togetherness with humans in command.
We change our surroundings as we prefer. Other creatures are deprived of this capacity. Many creatures are controlled by humans and are not free to opt-out.
Within humans, there are wide gradations. It endorses the increasing power of our thoughts and actions.
"Successful and unsuccessful people do not vary greatly in their abilities. They vary in their desires to reach their potential, says John Maxwell.
It is a separate issue that is not the core of this story.
This story relates to the power of humans over other creatures.
Animals behave as per their fixed patterns of survival, safety, and multiplying. Their potential is limited. They don’t know how to get water when rivers are dry. Plants grow and bear flowers and fruits at the prescribed temperature, moisture, sunlight, and nutrients.
Humans are thriving in all geographies because they know how to adjust and coexist. They have the unique power to sense things much faster and the power to choose what is to be done next. We save ourselves from harmful creatures and let beneficial creatures grow in our surroundings.
We humans are still studying the usefulness of weeds, plants, animals, and insects, and the majority of things on earth or in the sea are still mysteries. Many insects are damaging our plants, and we are working on how to control them. We were not aware of plants and other living entities, which are now medicinal for curing human diseases.
Many human diseases that were dreadful decades ago are now curable. It is the power of reflection that keeps humans from revealing the usefulness of the flora and fauna around them. This process is without end.
We cannot run faster than a lion, but we know how to keep them in control. We dictate to animals how to behave, though they are mighty. We facilitate the breeding of birds for their safe living.
Humans are supreme, which does not require any proof. When we deny what has been gifted to us, it is a surprise, not the norm.
We can’t know our power to choose unless we choose something harder in our lives. The innovations and discoveries around us are witnesses to the power of our unfolding.
Our lives are an experiment in themselves. We evolve when we stand up against challenges. Other creatures are least aware of how to respond when things are changing and making their lives difficult.
By any standard, humans are authorities over the entities that are around them.
