You can look at it from "the other side" too: suppose you were
standing by an anthill looking at the ants. You didn't like how some
of the ants acted. Would you then set up a sign with ten commandments
for the ants near the anthill, and then kill those ants who didn't
follow these commandments? We assume that you, in your infinite
wisdom, wrote the commandments in a language the ants could
understand.
