[Case]
I do not see any 'value' in this conception of 'betterness'. But if you
insist on pursueing this anthropomorphism, consider that the fish has the
same regard for bacteria, smaller fish and plants along the shore line. Or
that if you stray too far into the bush you will find that the lions,
tigers and bears have the same regard for you.
