Say you only want a happy family or a successful career or a big house. I say: no, that's not what you want. You'll settle for those things, but you really want a monkey that does your evil bidding.

Push a button, a light comes on inside, so it’s a light. Push a different button and stick your hand inside, it burns you, so it’s a weapon. Learn to open and close the door, it’s a place to hide things. Never grasping what it actually did, and maybe not even having the framework necessary to figure it out. No monkey ever reheated a frozen burrito. So here the monkeys were, poking the shiny box and making guesses about what it did.","author":"James S.A.

This is false. No living thing on earth is void of either. They also say that man is the most intelligent — and the most superior — species on earth. This is also false. It is very arrogant to assume that we are the most intelligent species when we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. It has been shown that both rats and monkeys learn from making errors, yet we have not. Our history proves this. All creatures on earth have the capacity to love and grieve the same way we do. No life on the planet is more deserving than another. Those who think so, are the true savages.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["animal","animals","apathy","arrogant","behavior","conversation","creature","creatures","earth","empathy","environmentalism","errors","feelings","grief","grieve","intelligent-species","learning-from-errors","learning-from-mistakes","loba","love","making-mistakes","monkey","monkeys","protection","rat","rats","reasoning","savage","species","superior-species","wildlife","world-forest"],"id":179429,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"Monkeys play by their sizes.
