प्रश्न
Are you afraid of the dark? What does it make you think of?
उत्तर
I'm afraid of darkness because it reminds me of loneliness and suffocation. The darkness often makes me feel lonely and insecure, causing emotions of loneliness and suffocation. The unknown might appear stressful in the lack of light, leading to basic feelings of weakness. However, during this darkness comes the potential for thought and progress. We may break free from this fear by tackling it head-on. Accepting darkness can lead to a better understanding of yourself and the world.

Apes are in many ways similar to humans. The skeleton of an ape resembles the skeleton of a human and it has the same number of teeth as a human has. An ape's brain is smaller than the brain of a human, but its structure is the same as the structure of a human brain. It is not surprising then, that apes behave rather like humans behave. Of all apes, the chimpanzee is most similar to man. It is the most intelligent of all the apes and can be trained more easily than other apes. Some chimpanzees have been taught to communicate with humans through gestures like the gestures used in deaf and dumb language. |
