A lone monkey is a dead monkey – about stigmatization?

From Mad in Sweden: We all know that humans are social creatures; as mammals we live in packs, we are not solitary, but our belonging to the group is an essential part of how our species has survived historically. Our brains have also changed little since we lived as hunters and gatherers on the savannah, which means that our desire to belong to the group is still an important psychological mechanism in all of us. If we were left alone on the savannah, we would not have survived for long in the prematurely inhospitable environment that characterized our early history. A series of behaviors have therefore been selected that ensure our belonging to the group. An example of this is our innate, instinctive attachment system, which means that we have behaviors that awaken the caregiving system of our caregivers. It is about survival.

    I know how it feels to be a lonely monkey. My Friend Shri Hanuman, the eater of the sun — Rama loves Hanuman so dearly, because Hanuman is the ultimate devotee and worthy of All Grace. If you would like to join me in singing The Hanuman Chalisa, we can celebrate that by the grace of Rama (GOD) our loneliness is only a result of causes and conditions which are easy to eradicate using the science of dialectics.

    Ramanama is a flaming sword that slays all demons.

    Your Servant,
    Shoko Asahara
