Thanks but human beings are clothed apes. Not monkeys - that would be technically incorrect. I'll give you my honest thoughts - you don't get it but that's quite common. Most people live in this bizarre delusion that they are somehow above and separate from the animal kingdom. Ironically it is a function of the human ego that creates that delusion.
Plus your reply is pretty much a back handed insult.
My comment may seem harsh, but I'm just being honest and not at all attempting to insult you.
We certainly are not above the animal kingdom. And if you wrote "apes" and I made a mistake, then I obviously messed up there.
Even then, there were things I disagreed with, but I found most of your writing very accurate. My reaction tends to be larger when I see something I disagree with in close proximity to something I find beautiful. So while I'm criticizing, please understand that I'm not out to harm.
-The ego is me. It's the only way to know me from you. So yes, the ego can make mistakes and it has many times.
I was being honest too. Let's just draw a line under it and move on. I can be quite fiery too!
I never wanted to fight you. Will continue reading your blog. Big :thumbsup:
Not a fight just an emotional response. We are all just people and prone to emotional reactions. All the best :)
I made an edit to the comment to correct myself. You did not write "monkeys".
So I apologize for making a mistake of which I wouldn't have approved myself.
(Not that it can entirely excuse my behaviour, but I guess it's possible that my brain misfired due to a few language differences: For example, in Swedish the word for monkey and ape are the same, being "apa".)
Please note that we still disagree about some things, but I think that it ought to be perfectly tolerable on a social media network such as this.
Of course and disagreeing is fine. It just seemed like a massive insult the way you phrased it.
I do realize that now and I will consider that in the future.
Thank you.
