The Role of Humankind
Physically and spiritually, one of the most profound ideas in this world is metabolism. That is, like a flame, we consume oxygen and digestible materials in order to shine light in this world. Animals too have this property that materials are consumed in order assist in providing the universe with light. It is up to humankind to see that this occurs to creation, as Gd says, "Let them rule (humans)," and in addition our assistance is that Gd has given, Torah, which is entirely ecologically friendly, such that through Torah, Gd asks all of us to be environmental stewards, and we do this through our own light, metabolism. That we have light necessates that if we are alive that we have a special purpose, even at the animal level, where we rule over animals to see that good is accomplished.
