We Are All Parasites, But Wonderful Parasites

Apart from Plants, all other animals on this planet are just parasites; parasites on the body of plants. Plants are the only living things that produce their food directly from inanimate chemical ingredients. All the other animals depend on plants to survive and live. But what wonderful parasites are we! We are much more advanced and complex than the living things we rely upon to survive. Nearly most animals are so much more complex than plants. It seems that because plants, early on on the life of this planet, found out how to turn the sun's energy into food, just were satisfied and happy with this process and did not have the urge to evolve much. But look at any animal, the eyes, the ears, the muscles, the nerves, the brain, how complex did we become, just to survive among other parasites and beat them on our main pursuit, which is to compete to have food from the plants.
