Abusing Our Call

As many thoughts from our past have well stated that human beings are the measurement all of things. We are the greatest achievement of nature because we are a conscientious thinking machine. At such, we have been bestowed with gifts that place us at the top of hierarchical chain of all other beings, perhaps, with the only exception being God, that is, if God exist. Thus, at the top, we are in control of all other beings in this world of ours where all other living creatures are known to us as beast. These creatures, these beasts, are under our dominion since human beings are the only creature that possesses a reasoning-thinking brain. Hence, we find most normal to dictate our wills onto this so-call beast. So, we amuse ourselves through abusing the world because we incorrectly understood dominion as domination of other which really wasn’t its intentional meaning. Instead, we are in dominion, that is, we are in charge of taking care of or providing for all that it is in this world. We are to be care-giver or care-provider for this world. Thus, the above picture reflects how far we are from our true call of care-giver and provider for God's creation.
