On squirrels

- Are you really thinking that human went on top of the evolution ahead of animals?
- Of course, - I answered. - Isn't it obvious?
- No, - he said. - Human felt far deeply. Nowadays only retired millionaire can live as an animal - live at the nature in the best-fit climate, move a lot, eat ecologically clean food and never worry about anything. Just think - no animal is working.
- What about squirrels? - Gera asked. - They are harvesting nuts.
- Darling, that's not a work. Whether squirrels from morning to evening were selling old bear shit to each other, then that would be a work. Harvesting squirrels is like free shopping.

Do you really think that humans came out on top in evolution ahead of animals ?

Humans have fallen far down. . only a retired millionaire . . live naturally in the right [most appropriate] climate [the one to which they are best adapted].

. . that's not work ! If from morning to evening squirrels were selling . . then that would be work.

For squirrels harvesting [nuts] is like free shopping.
