If there is enough place for different related animals, they can coexist.
There are different types of dogs, birds etc., so we can also have monkeys and humans.
As you can see in the diagram, it may be that we have a shared predecessor. Some of those creatures were just evolving to apes, they were successful in surviving so they didn't die out and remain over the years. But the same time, some of the creatures were evolving differently, finally becoming human beings.

for the kids who will get them :O.K. Let's start on a light note.
Why are hemorrhoids called "hemorrhoids" instead of "assteroids"?
since haemorrhoids are the swelling of veins at the connection of the portal to the systemic blood system and haemo or hemo is some greek word for blood.. its because of that
edit: haíma = blood

Opening a thread in here is enough if you want a serious discussion about this nonsense.why it is moved to drawing room
Suggesting a new section for it is just mental.
You should've posted in the Lounge though, you would've been getting all that ass raping you deserve for this
This is just like that drug trip I saw in that movie while I was on that drug trip.

. All your words are meaningless to me.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust,
and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.

Pls, those who are not interested in this thread, there is a above poll meant for you and stop posting ur views here. Its for like minded ppl. What do you think of this fellas writings
"On Being A Man(The Spiritual Warrior)"
Just like there is no "REAL LIFE 101" or "BEING HAPPY 101" in university coursework, there is no "BEING A MAN 101"; we learn as we go. We are taught many things as factual when so many are just what worked for our role models. It is up to us to find what works for us.
Who are our role models? Our fathers, teachers and coaches, friends, co-workers, bosses, TV and movie actors? I have met quite a few men who have inspired me and motivated me to reach beyond the ordinary. But I have also been disappointed by some that have gotten bogged down in satisfying someone else's expectations.
I think a man, foremost, is a warrior. Not in the common interpretation and not in the aggressive self-assertion that so people mistake for confidence. The warrior fights the battles within. That is where wars need to be fought.
Most external fights are merely a distraction, a diversion from fighting the necessary battles within. Most aggressive self-assertion is projection of inner fear, projections of limiting beliefs that there is not enough for everyone. It is easier to blame others for our rage than to realize that we have the power over our perceptions, over our thoughts, over the fears that come from no other place but within.
So what does the warrior battle?
He questions beliefs to find what is truth for himself. He battles the stray negative thoughts that run across the field of his mind.
I'm talking about the self-defeating "what-if" fantasies. This is usually accompanied by those nasty words, "would", "should" and "could." Thoughts can create emotions, emotions can create thoughts. Fear is a thought that quickly manifests itself as an emotion.
The “What-if / second guessing” cycle is so destructive because it takes the thoughts and emotions spiraling down into a deepening black-hole.
What is the most peaceful, soul-joyous moment you have ever had? I bet it was one where some experience had shutdown your thoughts to almost non-existence, and you felt the joy of experiencing the moment.
Humans, like other animals, are instinctive creatures. The difference is that many human parents and society do their best to discourage the development of instinct and instead teach a bunch of rules which seem to make sense for a while, and then leave us in turmoil when we discover these rules don’t fit us as growing adults.
And the tragic part is to watch grown adults cling vehemently to beliefs that they know in their own hearts don’t fit them. I know because I have done this before.
The even greater tragedy is when men cling so strongly to these beliefs that do not match natural laws, and man attempts to alter nature because his ego can rationalize the need to destroy life rather than face the truth of a mistaken belief. Just look at all the evil and bloodshed that has stained history, performed in the name of God.
The intellect is so seductive because our egos are so tightly linked to the intellect. Ego is the opposite of spirit. Ego is control, spirit is surrender to the flow of universal intelligence, like the "collective consciousness" Carl Jung spoke of. Youth is about mastering what we can control, maturity is about surrendering to what is truly powerful and allowing divine right action to create in our lives. We are all here on this planet to learn and grow - grow up to the innocence we once had as a child.
The intellect is seductive because being reasonable is such a high value. Now I was fortunate that I have the gift to use both halves of the brain with significant energy and we can all develop this. This has given me the perception to go into one half and look at the other. When I look from the creative half at the intellect, I see a machine that emulates the creative process, tries to give birth by bearing down with force of will.
This process is restricted to the 10% of the brain that science speaks of. The creative part knows to open up to the flow that is all around us and allow ourselves to be enchanted with our connection to all things. Good musicians know that the best performance happens when we stop thinking and let the creativity flow through us.
There is no UNDO function, but we can decide if our failures feed success or just repeat again and again. I know I've had my share of garbage dumped on my brain's hard drive, our job is to find it, delete it, replace it with quality. Quality in, quality out, garbage in, garbage out.
So how do we know the difference between truth and garbage data stuffed on the brain's hard disk?
It's the heart that knows, the instincts, the gut feelings, the truth we hear in our moments of silence. A predominate message of this "techno" age is that intellect is king, answer to all problems. But this is one piece of the puzzle and the vacuum created by not developingn our intuitive skills leaves people devoid of their own truth, waiting for the next guru to show them the way.
When we fully develop - develop mind and spirit, intellect and intuition - we figure out that our access to truth was there all the time and is accessed when we trust our access to the truth. Trust our heart, our gut, our instincts. Trusting your heart is scary, especially when "friends" around you tell you that it is foolish to do so. Following your heart is scary especially when you have been hurt before, and hurt severely.
But on every instance that I have been hurt, I look back remember when a little whisper spoke to me from in my heart and said "watch what's happening here", and I didn't listen. The lesson is being in touch, sharp to hear that voice, raising our awareness when we hear the voice. And the voice stops when we stop trusting it. Like so many things in life, use it or lose it.
And the only way to show you trust it is to get up out of the dirt and saddle up again. Life is beautiful, Life hurts, everybody's childhoods were difficult, everybody's life has its own unique challenges, we need to be careful not to build castle walls that also keep out our ability to feel joy and pleasure. I want the good stuff, and I'll take the pain along with it if that's what it takes!
So what is the warrior's job? The vigilance to monitor our thoughts, shut down the noise to reach our peaceful inner truth, and the courage to follow our hearts. This is the butt that needs kicking.
