Lives Of Quiet Desperation


Henry David Thoreau wrote in Walden that "The Mass of Men Lead Lives Of Quiet Desperation."  Does the same apply to monkeys, too?  The ones at the Denver Zoo are not happy campers.  With no chance of escaping their caged environment, their lack of hope can be seen in their expressions and body language.  I say let them out of their cages and romp with the zoo visitors once in a while.  That will liven things up for the monkeys, and will keep the zoo visitors on their toes, too.  Being chased by a feisty monkey might even help zoo visitors lose a few pounds and get into shape.  Talk about win-win.
