Humans can learn important lessons from the nonhuman world
Humans are blessed with the capacity to observe, tolerate, accept and learn other ways of being. We are natural. Science, in terms of evolution and biology, has reminded modern societies about the feature of survival and the inevitable need to adapt. Though we are superior to animals and fauna in our capacity of conscience and feelings like faith, love, and compassion, it is clear that animals follow a pattern—a clear sense of logic embodies them in surviving. They obey the cycle of Nature. Humans on other hand have a couple problems obeying Nature. We get so caught up in our problems, ambitions or complexes (due to free will to some extent) that we can become either ignorant or indifferent about our surroundings and the best path by which to survive. Even unconsciously, we give ourselves this unapproved sense of power, which, allows us to create allusions about other behaviors according to our feelings. We forget the simple parts of life that are evident in the truth, which is in the nonhuman world in nature.
