The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun - By William Blake

I don't know what compounded my confusions and confessions that I got addicted to insomniac nights . Keep on searching for something in the darkness of night, trying to answers of my questions and questions of my answers . As in spanish word for dark is 'OSCURA' simply means "obscure" . So the Dark night means an "Obscure night" i.e it doesn't comprehend clearly what is happening .Lets see it from other dimension . The darkness or obscure nature of night doesnt implies its sinister nature , but it implies that the liberation takes places in hidden ways, beneath our knowlegde abd understanding . God darken our awareness in order to keep us safe .We can't chart our own course ,we become vulnerable to GOD's protection , and the darkness becomes a "guiding night" , a "night more kindly than the dawn". Also as said in V forVendetta ""The darkest hour comes before the dawn."". Aah ..!! I dont know what the hell I keep on writing . I started this mail with a lovely thought and somehow started speaking of la noche oscura . Yesterday night or more specific during the darkest hours of the night, while googling for something , i started reading about "ORANGUTANS : a endangered species of great apes ".
Orangutans : They differ from other species of great apes in several important ways.Though their intelligence and relative lifespan are traits shared by the other great primates, the social behavious and general lifestyle of orangutans are quite different.
The two other groups of great apes : Chimpanzees and Gorillas ,live in mixed social groups . Orangutans ,on the other hand ,live semisolitary existences. That is to say ,Male orangutans live alone most of the time, occupying and defending their territory and the females who live there . Though female residing within the boundaries of one male orangutan's domain belong to him , they dont live with him. Their only intimate contact occurs during weeklongs periods of fertility every few years, between pregnancies. Once a female is pregrant ,she takes care of herself and eventually raises her baby completely alone. Even when several adult females and their babies group around the same fruit tree - a rare but possible event- they don't fight or share as other primate groups world, but instead ignore each other.
Inference I made from this : We normally say "Man is a social Animal". But in the modern world no-one has time to socialize so earlier human beings were kind of decadents from the great apes. We used to have joint families, used to have more than 1000 folks joining the marriage ceremonies and death ceremonies , ladies cooking 100's of chapaties and ten or more kids fighting for a choclate (Melody khao khud jan jao) . These behaviour of human resembles with Gorillas or Chimpanzees . But what about modern man????? Including me typing mails and you reading ;-). We now talk about Live-in relationships and living in nuclear families . Whole concept of human existence has changes in last decade. Now I think the previous generation was a decendant of Gorillas and we , so called "X-Gen" or "Y-Gen" or "NXT-Gen" folks, are decendants from Orangutan . Reading about them in the above passage looks resembles whole and souly with 21st century human with just one modification : Here both male and female have their own territories (Not like in Orangutan ).
