Freeing Inner Monkey- Knowing Ourselves as Humans

Sometimes we find it hard to accept what we are. We find it hard to admit what really drives us.
The creature we are, why we are the species we are.

And what makes us good. Or to be more honest, what dictates our sense of good? Where does our sense of good come from?

The answer is Inner Monkey.
No, I'm not being facetious.
Let's follow our history.

Our emotions- our sense of Love and Hate, and all our values of interaction, have roots in our Biological class.
Reptiles are pretty nasty really. So are most animals.
Look at how they live.
Ok, we shouldn't judge them by our standards, but if we DID- and this is the point- they have nothing we could describe as ethics. They live towards eachother in ways that to us, are evil.

They feel nothing to eachother. Each one depends on himself.
Even collective species, such as insects, are not bonded by love. They are just cogs in a machine.
They are functions, parts, a means to an end.

Mammals are different. They give birth to and nurture their young. This makes mammals different. Mammals need some rudimentary Love for eachother to survive. Because the newborn involve such efforts to produce and rear, they cannot be abandoned, like the young of other classes and phyla.



Amongst Mammals, Monkey is special. By Monkey I mean Monkey in it's widest uses.
Haplorrhine Primates.
Monkey, is a special mammal.
Because Monkey lives by his wits.

Monkey is an opportunist.
Monkey explores things, to see how he can use them.

Monkey is curious.
But Monkey is not a creature who lives by hate.
Monkey never kills the young of other monkeys.
Monkey likes other Monkeys.

Monkeys like living together.
Monkeys will help eachother if they can.

We should not be ashamed of being a Monkey.
Monkey is a creature who has risen above the general nastiness of nature, who has climbed away from the Black Widow Spider, the Crocodile, the Dung Beatle.

Monkey is driven by Love.
Monkey just wants sex a lot.
Monkey wants to feel Loved, because in Loving, Monkey makes more Monkeys, who spread more love.
That's how we work, pretty much.

We love eachother because we want to carry on spreading Love.
And in Monkey, Love is special. Because Monkey needs other Monkeys. He doesn't really want other Monkeys eaten by the lion. He loses a helper that way.

Love and Curiosity.
Monkey's unique combination.

They drove Monkey to explore.
You see, that's what makes Monkey special- You know the saying, give a Monkey a typewriter, in time he'll type the Bible?
Well- that's what happened.

And the rest? The rest of the crap we live with? It's a just a system Inner Monkey has designed. Even our intelligence, just something Inner Monkey evolved to satisfy his Love for other Monkeys, and his innate curiosity.
Inner Monkey is good.

For so long we ran from the fact of who we are and what motivates us.
We are ashamed of it.

We come from Monkeys and we love to love eachother.

But this is our strength, because Inner Monkey is good, he is everything that is good.

Inner Monkey can defeat Ingsoc.
Inner Monkey WILL defeat Ingsoc.

Learn to Love Inner Monkey.
