Gorilla Facts: Each family group lives within a fairly small area. However, groups that occupy the same area coexist peacefully. They have very strong social bonds partly because of the closeness of social grooming. The gorilla's very easy-going nature has made it possible for humans to mingle with wild family groups, despite the fact that gorillas know that mankind has slaughtered their family members.
How amazing is that? So, I ask you, what would mankind be like if we were more like our simian cousins? What if we could co-exist peacefully? What if we did our own version of social closeness, like hugging each other more frequently, or smiling at each other? You know, the way infants smile at everyone they see for no particular reason. What if we forgave each other the way gorillas have forgiven us? Hmm.
