Gorilla me

I think the reason I like going to the zoo so much is that animals have an authenticity to them that I don't see in humans. Is it bad that I am more touched by a gorilla holding it's baby than I am by a human mother? Who knows? I just am. Maybe it's because animals can't help but be authentic and that authenticity is deeply touching. There are no hang ups in the animal kingdom that prevent their true being from coming through. They just are. They don't put on airs. They don't know how.
