A Monkey, a Man, a Forest- Continued
The monkey: You humans were once as agile as us monkeys, but no longer. Why, I'd say you're regressing. Humans have become lazy, and clumsiness is the result. On the other hand, your neglect and carelessness grow by the day. You humans boast of your advanced technology, but in truth, all your fancy contraptions bring about human misery.
The man, yelling: Cocky beast. Get down here, now.
Monkey: Look around you. Do you see any other creatures in such decline as humans? I don't think so. Look at us, with whom you share an ancestor. We monkeys move about freely, whether on the ground or up in the air, swinging from tree to tree. You used to be like us, the forest for a home, but you now share a home on the ground with the snakes and frogs.
I don't know what to call this, maybe not corruption, but think about it, humans on the ground, monkeys in the treetops, who's closer to heaven, who's nearer hell?
