I have a story for you; there were many monkey’s in the jungle and they all ate bananas but one monkey decided that all the bananas should be his so he hoarded them to himself. In this case the rest of the monkey’s realized that this hoarding monkey had severe mental problems especially since all the food was quickly becoming black and rotting. So all the monkey’s sent the hoarding monkey to a mental institution. In the case of the U.S. we have the same phenomena happening; Because of the selfishness of 1 percent of the people the country is rotting and we should send all the monkey minds to a mental institution for extended therapy and rehabilitation for selfishness.

The above story is an allegory. There is a difference between an allegory and direct comparison between animals and humans. And, even animals exhibit collective cooperation in survival. Human beings can make conscious decisions and are not compelled by biological and instinctive responses alone. We have the ability to make well thought out and conscious decisions. Those decisions are made according to the consciousness of individuals making them. When our for fathers made up the constitution they never had the idea of having someone wield power to have wanna be kings and fascists ruling us. If they had there would be no reason to separate from ‘King’ George and create a ‘King’ Trump. In a spirit of cooperation and sharing, the constitution was written with the phrase; ‘We the people’ not each for one and the glory of the few at the expense of a collective spirit that recognizes we should have the compassion to recognize the needs of others and not only our own. Even animals have this spirit. In this spirit we grow and learn how to love. This spirit has been compromised beyond belief in the present ego, aggressive and intolerant view of others now influencing the consciousness of our country and influencing the whole earth.
