mammialian - monkey like "Monkeys don't waste time pounding on sticks and calling them houses when they done pounding. They don't make hammers. Watch out for that word smart in those school houses with teachers whose job it is to confuse little youngn's like you." - John J Bessey, b. 1877 (my great grandfather)
THE ABOVE short etymology on the English word 'education' IS WHY THOSE IN PREVIOUS DARK AGES also INVENTED THE WORD MOTHER ... SO YOU CAN EXPERIENCE COMPASSION FOR HER AFTER ALL WE PUT HER THROUGH. The lesson on 'the other' is not easy! The problem as I see is trying to act NOT TOO much like our skins ... which provided the word animal in the first place. CAVE DWELLING sounds easier. Envy comes in all forms.
My Great Grandfather born in 1877 said "we used to always call always call those thumbs of yours THINKING FINGERS when I was a small youngn" (b. 1877). I was told when I was small youngn' that it helps you remember that monkey's don't need all that fancy writing paper to communicate. If they like each they don't go and move away. Makes you be nicer to you youngn's if you want them around when you're old like me.
They decided to start calling them thinking fingers on you thumbs when all those school houses started showing up, gave teachers a job that way. But it sure messes up you small youngn's by not learning to take your time by looking at that thinking finger before you make a fist that's why men use their middle finger to tell each other they aren't going to act like animal first- like a stare down who will make the first fist. You don't see monkeys making fists.
It's the job of us old people who are too tired to work to tell you youngns' why acting like big monkey is not a good idea, they put monkey in cages with bars. That's why you have your little THINKING FINGERS makes you think before you make a fist. I'm an old man I've forgot to take time to look and remember and I've hit my old fingers pretty darn often with a hammer and wished I'd take time to think. Paper is just another darn tool just fancier than a hammer. Don't let those teachers in school houses tell you monkeys are dumb. They get paid to confuse youngn's like you. CONFUSION HAS A GREATER AND EXPANDED MEANING TO ME WITH THE WISDOM BORN IN 1877!
