A Word on My Philosophy....

A word on "Love Thy Monkey."

It's not just another meaningless catchphrase that somehow ties back into Corporate Monkey Boy. No, it's a philosophy, a way of life if you will.

There were famous experiments conducted in the 1950's by a man named Harry F. Harlow (you can read about it here), involving Rhesus monkeys. The long and short of it was two groups of infant monkeys were fed the same, and given the same amounts of water and exercise. Only one group was held and cuddled, and one was not. The first group turned out happy and healthy. The second, well, they basically went insane.

So, to extrapolate. We all need love and care and attention. We all need to be held, and to feel wanted. So it is my mission -- and I hope you will make it your mission, too -- to reach out and hold someone near to you. Because we are, in essence, just big hairless monkeys. So go forth and Love thy Monkey.
