We can learn from these individuals

Everyone should read and learn from Them

No, this is not about politics, or even people.  It is about Gorillas paying respets to one of their own who died.  It is a very touching story and appears to affirm what many scientists have already claimed.

Gorrillas are very intelligent, and very caring.  They live in a social structure not unlike Humans.  And it appears they possess many of the best of human qualities.  Or we possess some of their good qualities, as I dont know who came first.

I wish all the poachers could see this social interaction, and know that killing them is akin to murder.  But with so many humans devaluing life, human or otherwise, I doubt it would do much good.

For the rest of us who do value life, there is a lesson here. In the end, what matters most is how we treat others, and value them.  For that is how we are remembered after death.

The story in the link was touching.

Unfortunately, as you said, we do not even value human lives anymore, much less gorrillas.
