To Reconnect With Nature Is

If You Educate Women, Family Size Tends To Go Down.

If Harsher Laws Are Put In Place, Less Will Dare To Break Them.

If You Look Into Their [chimpanzees] Eyes, You Know You're Looking Into A Thinking Mind. They Teach Us That We Are Not The Only Beings With Personalities, Minds Capable Of Rational Thought, Altruism And A Sense Of Humor. That Leads To New Respect For Other Animals, Respect For The Environment And Respect For All Life.

Is It Not Possible That The Chimpanzees Are Responding To Some Feeling Like Awe? A Feeling Generated By The Mystery Of Water; Water That Seems Alive, Always Rushing Past Yet Never Going, Always The Same Yet Ever Different. Was It Perhaps Similar Feelings Of Awe That Gave Rise To The First Animistic Religions, The Worship Of The Elements And The Mysteries Of Nature Over Which There Was No Control? Only When Our Prehistoric Ancestors Developed Language Would It Have Been Possible To Discuss Such Internal Feelings And Create A Shared Religion.

I'm Always Pushing For Human Responsibility. Given That Chimpanzees And Many Other Animals Are Sentient And Sapient, Then We Should Treat Them With Respect.
