::ME::
In a place of voidness, I need colours. Blue, Red, Green.
May the colours tell of a story that will not let me regret.

Grossed out.
I just read at National Geopraphics that some peace-loving chimpanzees have the habit of eating other primates, other monkeys. They were peace-loving because they play and groom with other species and sometimes even mate with them, not that any new species will be produced but for the fun of it. Haha. The new discovery is that they do hunt other monkeys to EAT!!! One day they were playing with them, the next, they eat them. Sort of like edible toys huh.
Come to think of it, it is quite a high order thinking right? As the idea of turning playthings into something essential for survival does requires a certain level of intelligence. In fact, scientists do constitutes 'having fun and entertainment' as an act of high intelligence. Thus it leads me to wonder, were we(humans) at this stage before? Where maybe as cavemen, when starvation sets in and the only food available is the cavemen in the next cave? It irks me to know that we once killed other primates and rip the flesh right off the bone, with blood dripping. That's evolution, a work of beauty with ugly actions.
