we get stimulated, we can develop to a level that no other animal can achieve. That’s why we are
the most intelligent and smartest animals on Earth. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean we make
intelligent decisions, especially when it comes to preserving the environment. So, even though
we are the smartest animals, we’re not smarter than an ant when we think of living in harmony
with nature.
