13 very good answers so far,I agree with all from your perspective,I was given that "the mind is not for thinking,the mind is for receiving thought" It seems God is the only source of true inspiration in the "now".

I can think of three, but I can't decide which is the most important:
1)The ability to walk upright
2)Opposable thumbs
3)The ability to reason
But since an ape can do 1 and 2, I suppose I would have to choose 3, the ability to reason. But I'm not sure if that's even the term I'm looking for.....it's much more than reason! The ability to solve problems utilizing varied means and methods. Which leads me to think about morals! I mean most of us have learned it's not good behavior to eat your neighbor's young, unless your Dahmer of course! But then can't problem solving and morals, in a sense, be grouped under the ability to reason?
And all of this leads to thinking of the human brain, which most "reasoning" takes place in, and must be considered superior to every other animals. So I would say, for all reasons, the human brain! GOOD QUESTION!

Guns
Our technologies and practices that control the frequency and precision of inflicting pain on populations is our best genius, the best form of population control, the basis to all education and advance. Our justice, law, and power would be nothing were it not for the ability to deliver abject misery at the flip of a switch or the pull of a trigger.

Their reputation, (good name, or bad name). When you die, this is the only thing you can take with you to the grave. Everything else stays here.

The ability to give birth, it is the most precious thing ever. I just wish all people were fortunate enough to experience this.

compassion, without it there is no capacity for love, understanding, sympathy, or empathy. only apathy and self indulgence.
