The Human Zoo by Desmond Morris.

[sadhana]

The Human Zoo is an explication of the concept of the city as a concrete jungle.In this book the author analysises issues pertaining to the people living in dense urban communities. He underlines the sameness of animal and human behviour under captivity. The zoo becomes a metaphor for urban life Living in a jungle is more rewarding for animals as for animal-men or men in a natural state of innocence. But just as living in a zoo under subjective conditions is depressive for animals, similarly for human beings who live in a human zoo, not a concrete jungle, living in the human zoo of cities has its hazards.
Morris is depressingly near the truth when he says that our craze for progress has unleashed powerful urges which is apart of our biological inheritance and this has made the human zoo possible which promises food and shelter and other amenities of life. But the price that humans have to pay in terms of loss of selfhood and visions of loneliness have to be taken care of.

People get over yourselves. Man always has been and always will be an animal. The one with the most posssibility to become divine no doubt,but also the one most prone to become stupid,fat and lazy.

I think "divine" is already one the best examples of stupid and most mentally fat.
