 "Pardon me Dear Human", ""yes?"", thou says, " May I share something with you which is of great urgency?", ""what could this possibly be, I am fine!"", "I shall not proceed then"............time passes........."Pardon me dear Human", ""alright, what is this so urgent thing that I must stop for just two minutes!?"", thou shouts, "thank you, I simply wanted to let you know if you did not already know something about your-self; perhaps you never were shown, told, or pointed; the reason is not here relevant; finally then, do you know that you posses something beyond Money, beyond Gold, beyond Diamond, beyond Orgasm, beyond Brut force, something so valuable that it cannot be accurately measured?", ""ha!"", thou utters, ""but what could possibly be worth more than all the paper money, diamonds, gold, and otherwise!?"", "that, you, yes you the Human may rise so far, so much taller than any Planet or Star, to emerge, just as a Caterpillar into the Butterfly, into Pure Intelligence-Ethics-Genius!", ""No, no, no, no, not possible"", thou says, ""But how could I, for this long, to my current age not be aware of something so obvious"", "I have said what I needed to tell you; good day my Friend!"............time..............time............time.............. What is this so-called (mental virus) that hinders the Human Individual from emerging into the true and pristine Intellectual-Ethical Being which is what has been meant to be all along in nature!? Must thou remain a Human Caterpillar, when, provided the correct circumstances, it is just so Easy and Natural to shed thy Ignorance!? Should we wish that Butterflies regress back into a cocoon or worse? Unlike our dear flightful Butterflies, the Human requires correct { Inculcation}, thus the metamorphic goal of which yields that which I term * The shedding of one's Socio-cultural skin or ignorance phase, after which out bursts the Pure and ripened Human Intellect-Ethical Being, [ id est ] = { R }  Homo crēdulitās! There is too much credulousness with the modern human being; just as a fish is lured into a hook-trap so easily, the average human individual is far too comfortable with pre-judgments, and therefore is highly susceptible to falling prey to the depravity of others.
