I don't mean smarter. I know that humans are the "smartest" species.
Yet look at us, living complicated lives, creating wars, letting members of our species starve just because they don't have pieces of green paper to buy food and polluting the environment. Slaving away our entire lives working for some idiot than inherited a corporation and millions from his parents without moving a muscle.
Look at us, wating our lives with meaningless jobs, worrying about love and philosophical questions that we cannot answer, fighting against each other in a stupid rat-race.
And then look at the animals, only worrying about the basic stuff, having food, shelter and being happy with so little. They don't complicate their lives with ideologies, nationalities, racial discrimination, religion, or meaningless jobs. They don't ask what's their purpose in life, they just live and enjoy the ride.
Look at the birds singing, at the dogs frolicking in the grass, at the dolphins jumping happily.
