"Cada ser vivo es una especie de imperialista que busca transformar tanto como sea posible de su entorno en sí mismo."
— Bertrand Russell

Simplified Meaning:
All living things, including humans, animals, and plants, try to change their surroundings to make them more suitable for themselves. For example, think about how birds build nests. They gather twigs and leaves to create a home where they can live comfortably and raise their young. Similarly, people build houses, plant gardens, or even set up cities, turning the natural environment into something that meets their needs. This idea isn't just about survival; it's also about thriving and making life easier. In your own life, you might rearrange your room to make it cozier or plant a garden to have fresh vegetables. It's natural for living beings to shape their environment in ways that benefit them.
