What is the difference between a man and a parasite?

A man builds.. a parasite asks "where's my share?"

A man creates.. a parasite says "what will the neighbours think"

A man invents!.. the parasite says "Watch out, or you'll tread on the toes of god"

So, my fellow Lemmings, what is the difference?

Disclosure this is a joke question, ive been revisiting Bioshock too much recently this week
