Am I the only one that wishes they were born as a monkey instead of human?
I mean I was thinking about it and I think monkey's have the best lives of all species. I used to think I would be happier born in some jungle tribe in brazil living wild with no concept of the modern world. But I think being a monkey would be even better, possibly chimpanzee. Gorillas are too big and heavy.
Some kind of monkey big and strong enough to be safe from most predators and yet still small enough to be light and agile enough to swing and run through the trees. Very humanlike, plenty of food with leaves and insects and whatever fruits they find hanging from trees. And just running super agile and free through the jungles. Trying to think of anything that might be better. Not even an eagle. As awesome as it would be to be an eagle soaring through the skies they are still pretty limited, they are not too great on the ground. The perfect sized monkey however soaring through the trees and exploring the land and jungles like some kind of humanoid squirrel. Sigh, what a life. I'm jealous.
Edit: Kind of funny when I made this post and was thinking about the monkeys. I wasn't even thinking about how when I was a kid I was a tree climber. I loved being high up in the trees. I wasn't at all afraid of falling. I was very confident and comfortable in my tree climbing abilities. I could even go from tree to tree sometimes when the situation was right. If the trees were close enough together and I could get a good foot and hand hold. I was always scanning the trees deciding if they were climbable or not. Even as a teen the big tree in our back yard, I could climb to the heights and chill up there. I was even smoking pot up there in the trees back then lol.
Earlier years at a different place there was a stand of trees where I was always climbing in. And I found the best spot to chill. I was already a book reader and I would carry my book high up into the tree where my favorite spot was. A spot that seemed made for me to kick back and relax. I could put up my feet it was like a natural recliner in the trees and I'd sit up there and read my book. Until some annoying grown ups came along and yelling hey you kid get down from those tress lol. They were afraid I would fall. But I knew I wouldn't, and never did.
