I don't think the reason why we (humans) are called superior beings was just made-up to delight us. I believe it is legit, and because of our ability to understand, and to carefully consider our dealings with one another, or at least our potential to do so.
But saying we are isn't enough. We gotta strive to represent it, by avoiding avoidable offenses, knowing that nothing should be so dear to us that it can be purchased at the price of getting on each other's nerves, or ridiculing that which is very sensitive in terms of support structure.
Egos and emotions may come to play sometimes, that's natural, and I believe that is one reason why we are encouraged to do 'muhasabah' (accountability) of the 'nafs' (self, psyche, ego or soul). Meaning self-scrutiny or taking account of our deeds during our lone moments. It will take us far.
