If I had to compare myself to an animal, I’d pick Homo sapiensthe scientific name for a species of primate that’s mastered the art of unraveling the world it inhabits. This curious breed of monkey struts around with a sense of ownership, convinced the Earth is its personal playground. Arrogant and self-assured, it acts like it has all the answers, rarely pausing to consider sharing the planet with the countless other species that call it home.
My frustration? I don’t get to choose which species I belong to. I’m stuck with this oneflaws and all. So, instead of lamenting my lot, I’m left with a humbler task: to work on myself. To chip away at the arrogance, rethink my habits, and strive to be a better inhabitant of this shared world. It’s not about rewriting the speciesit’s about reforming the individual.
