All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed; second, it is violently opposed; and third, it is accepted as self-evident. --Arthur Schopenhauer
It took a long while for Waltre to accept evolution, but when he did things began falling into place. Now that he could see it as being self - evident, a huge weight seemed to fall from his shoulders, and while it was not exactly good to realize that he was descended from an ape, it was not all that bad either.
He had accepted; like Desmond Morris, author of The Human Zoo, that we are the naked apes.
"I suppose we lost our hair, or fur, by wearing animal skins before we evolved into more fashionable clothes." Waltre thought.
"Nah that doesn't make sense. Some naked apes are still running around unclothed in the Rain Forest, and they have less hair than Northern Europeans!"
"Oh well, what do I know? I suppose I'll just have to read Desmond Morris again."
He concluded.
"The main thing is that I have accepted the fact that I'm descended from an ape; and whether or not I've come from the furry kind or the non-furry kind doesn't matter. But then again...hmmm."
"Maybe we didn't have fur to begin with!"
"If so, that might explain why we seem to have evolved into where we are now - while a whole lot of apes are still swinging around having a fine old time in the jungle. I mean, not having any skin covering, and being naked, like, it might have been very embarrassing."
Waltre remembered vivid dreams where he was totally nude in a public place. In the dreams he'd tried to pretend that it was perfectly normal, but deep inside he knew that he was the only one walking around totally naked. The worst part of the dreams was when he was defecating in a public place, and if the defecating wasn't enough, he then had to wipe himself in public!
'The dreams could be a subconscious link to an archaic time in our evolution." He thought. "Maybe it's a deep subconscious memory."
He thought about how no other animal had evolved to a point where it had decided to wear clothes, but then he slipped into the stage of beer drinking where his inhibitions suddenly began slipping away.
Before he slipped into total inhibition he made a mental note: "I must keep on listening to Brain Booster CD."
He then went into total inhibition; which isn't really much worth writing about.
