Are we Special?

Submitted by Sharhea on Sun, 10/21/2007 - 10:34am.
I cannot say if we are special or not before we define what is special. Special do not necessarily mean that we are superior, but that we are individuals that stand out on this world we know as Earth. Humans cannot maintain without the other species and vice versa for some species. We all do have a purpose, but what is the problem with refering to us as special? I like the idea that we are a unique species, we are not superior to anything else in nature but we do stand out.
