Monkeys
Aren't into Writing | Today I heard someone
make a statement that made me think. This was it...
"The
only difference between monkeys and humans is that humans write and
monkeys do not write".
Now before
anyone gets bent
out of shape, this statement had nothing to do with evolution. The
point was that we all should be writing more often. I'm going
to associate it with journaling and writing life stories.
HE CONTINUED ON...
He
continued by drawing general comparisons between humans and
monkeys. He said "Think about it..." | Quick Links! | Journal

- We fight with each other - They

He also stated
that "As far as I know, no monkey has ever written a book, article or
anything else for that matter".
He
continued by saying that because we write, we (humans) have the ability
to know what went on 2000 years ago. We keep records and
preserve
them.
We can learn from our mistakes,
because
of writing.
He
joked that many teenagers make so many mistakes because, despite the
things that have been written, teenagers don't believe what the "old
codgers" have written!
When I first heard this
today, I was at first in relative disagreeance to it, but
was curious to hear more.
In the end, I
thought his reasoning was pretty good and his point about people
needing to be journaling and writing more is one that I totally agree
with. How about you?
