In this nature man is the only living being who earns, all other living beings just eat, sleep and enjoy. Despite this we humans are not satisfied. The biggest reason for this is that we consider ourselves greater than all living beings or should we say sit above all. We feel that the world is above us, and in this nature whatever is there to be enjoyed we humans have all the rights over it. However the biggest duty of a human being is to give equal rights to all living beings to live and exist.
