Conscience and compassion are not exclusive to humans. Not yours; no one’s. It’s, at least, universal. You can’t beat a rock and expect it not to hit you back; literally and ethically. If you believe you know all about this, then you should also respect wherever or whatever it comes from.
You are not, and never were, perfect. Nothing is.
And superiority barely stands on a raft built of matches with tips already burned out, hardly floating on the endless ocean of creation.
