Learning “The best thing for being sad, " replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something” “That's the only thing that never fails. Learn why the world wags and what wags it.

Look what a lot of things there are to learn. ” ― T. H. White, The Once and Future King

Your inner chimp sees everyone else as part of a chimp troop and that there is danger everywhere and they must be part of a chimp troop to be safe.
