People are a Virus

People are a virus, not a mammal. Mammals steadily come to an equilibrium in their surroundings, no matter what they are, and thus coexist with everything else in stable harmony, even if it includes one eating the other organisms in those surroundings. Humans, on the other hand, move into an environment, never assimilate into it, and then destroy their surroundings. Then they reproduce and move on to somewhere else after exhausting the former place’s resources. A virus acts in a similar way. They move into a host, reproduce, destroy the host, and are spread elsewhere.
