What a piece of work is Man...

OK, so I was dragged to see "Brokeback Mountain", because that's what happens when you're married. She owes me a good Sci-Fi movie, but that's not important right now.
I don't usually wax poetic about this world, but there is a scene in the movie which really got me thinking. There's a scene of these cowboys driving sheep, on horseback, with the sheep dogs running around...

I started thinking about the fact that Man is unique in being able to hold mastery over all these other animals. Not to get too frum on everyone, but doesn't it blow your mind that of all the species, we are able to train other animals to do exactly what we want, and use them for so many different purposes. I mean, you can bring up ants and aphids or some other b.s. example of other animals in symbiotic or parasitic relationships, but it's really no contest... Man wins hands down. We are totally off the scale in this ability.

Good Shabbos everyone!
