and planet earth is an ecosystem that is made up of smaller ecosystems (which we are part of..)

    When you realize how each ecosystem is part of a larger ecosystem, and we are just part of that chain, it makes it appear silly, to me at least, that we think we are some sort of an authority that can draw a line and claim that we are unique, alone, and it is all about us.
