we human monkeys fight for territories, which we can't posess for long. land is born and eroded. species evolve and perish. territories marked and demarked. But the human battles are recorded on paper that helps the future generations to get biased in their own way and stream ahead to continue spending their valuable time in a fruitless barren patriatic struggles.
