My face was frozen, eyes wide open, amazed by the way this army of ants behaved. I looked closely and noticed that some of them easily carried many times their body weight. I couldn't imagine a man carrying his wife and kids on the tip of his mouth! A few days later as I walked down the road I saw a parked car, in front of the car was a man, struggling with a huge rock, but the rock wouldn't budge. I approached the man and said "If an ant could move many times it's weight, why can't you move the rock"? "because I am not an ant!" he replied a little ofuscated. He stood up, grabbed a medium-sized log and used it as a lever, and down the hill the rock went.
The man sped away in his car down the bumby road. I kept on walking "probablly he will encounter another rock down the road, hopefully he learned something and uses another lever this time" I thought to myself. Then something clicked in my head and I realized something... An ant could move so much weight with it's mouth, but a human could move unimaginable amounts of weight with just the brain, but why, what was the answer for the brain's power?
Humans are the most intelligent beings in the known universe. Modern technology and our brains are the product of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution and they also are the roots of our strenghts. Our every movement, emotion, action and thoughts are the formula for what is to come. Time is a movement, a friction that wears everything off, so everything must change to deal with the change of time. The environment shapes to fit, all living things evolve on their strenghts, what best suits them to survive and us humans are not the exception.
