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.

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.

Yet today, we mostly erect uninspired concrete structures, often lacking aesthetic appeal. Worse, we destroy historical landmarks, motivated by personal religious or political agendas. In the 1960s, we achieved the incredible feat of landing on the moon, a milestone that symbolized boundless human ambition. Fast forward to today, and we face challenges in safely bringing astronauts… What is your favorite animal?
