The Social Evolution Of A Monkey

 

The location is situated in rugged, evergreen terrain, characterised by steep mountains, gorges, and valleys that lead into lochs. Golden eagles fly high in the clear blue atmosphere, chasing fat puff pigeons.

 

In the valley, a clearing allows Scottish Red Stags to rut their stuff and fight vigorously to win the right for the females’ attention. The stags scrape the soil with their hooves, they bellow loud grunts, and the two red stags run to clash and bash their antlers.

The stags fight for dominance and display their strength to secure a mate. The rut starts in late September and lasts until November. It can leave a male deer exhausted, wounded, or dead.

In contrast, the hot jungles of the Congo have an array of plant life, including mammals that walk the Earth, insects that creep and crawl, and colourful exotic birds that fly high in the African sky.

Deep in the dense jungle, a small primate called a Bonobo has complicated social dynamics led by the matriarch. The troop engages in regular sexual activities that serve a purpose: keeping the peace, reducing stress, resolving conflict, and social bonding.

If monkeys can find a mutual understanding where stags can’t, wouldn’t it be wise for humanity to adopt the same principles as bonobos!.. 

Greek tragedies are intriguing. They’re everlasting stories because they are embedded in our minds and portray humanity’s behaviour. They always tell tales of love being defeated by selfish behaviour.

It’s an attitude that breeds hatred and produces destruction, where love grooms intelligence and creativity.

Let’s examine the Trojan War. In brief, Helen of Troy leaves her husband for Prince Paris. In outrage, her husband gets his army to win her back. How ridiculous is that?

First, Helen wishes to be with another man, but has no choice without the present-day law. Second, if one man does not want to let go, why doesn’t she offer to share her time with both of them?

If sharing is fair, why is the option never in some women’s minds if they understand love wasn’t meant to harm?

Do Not Kill.

Why is it a case in which a man must fight to prove himself to a woman?

If modern women are clever, why don’t they act as mediators and offer an alternative instead of judge and jury?

A primitive attitude is to say, ‘It’s always been like that.’

With that attitude, humanity will never reach its full potential.

One of the most famous tragedies of love is Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The story highlights several topics.

  • The couple’s families had much to say about their relationship when the adage reads, live and let live.
  • A lack of communication can have a devastating effect on an individual’s mental health and can create long-term problems. Full disclosure is required with sincerity and honesty to build long-term relationships.

A black leopard can’t change its spots, but a brown, black and white, small, scruffy Arctic fox turns to snow white in winter. It’s a clever, cunning creature that can survive in any weather and is naturally adaptable. You will not survive the prevailing wind if you cannot realign or adapt to a new lifestyle and fall in love.

Wanting to find love, but you’re having sex, and you have the desire, and then they lust, it is a mental battle. When you think you’ve found Mr Perfect Prince, the amazing transformation shocks your system, and what was said is undone.

 

The Pledge

 

It was a pledge that put her on the edge. She was depressed about a promise that was not blessed at best, and his dishonesty caused her to jump off a ledge.

When Perfect Prince first met Ruth the Truth, they joyfully played in the snow with a sledge near a ledge at the edge of a precipice. They decided that before going to bed, they would pledge their emotions, be devoted and take the plunge.

Promising devotion turned into a vow until death do we part. They pledged themselves and tied the knot. Is there a plot? I think not.

Now they’re wed. They went to bed and pledged their love from the edge of the bed. However, Ruth the Truth was unaware and misled after going to bed. She didn’t know the Perfect Prince had a double bed and another bitch on his head.

This put her on the edge of a tight wedge in her head since the promise is not a pledge. She was found on the edge of a ledge, where Ruth the Truth plunged to her death.

Promising a pledge of devotion can lead some to the edge of a tight wedge on a ledge. Don’t pledge or wed on an unseen future; you could be used, abused, battered and bruised, then end up dead in your bed asking, ‘Where’s my head?’

The power of love makes some people do the craziest of things. After the following poetic prose, we delve into social politics from a primate’s point of view and see how relevant it is to our protagonist.   

 

In Vision’s View

 

A view from a window shows a sight seen in a scene where the writing is on the wall.

Inside a room, peering through a skylight, Ruth the Truth sees a vision that is a delight.

Seeing a sight for saw eyes fills her mind with images of a Perfect Prince and a Cheeky Cockney.

Insightful visions frightened her into flight out of fear that the Perfect Prince would change into a Cheeky Cockney, or is it a false impression?

With no rearview mirror, experiences are visions of future events in different times and places.

Does our insight have the foresight to envision an illusion from confusion out of delusion?
