I
can
’t
go
anywhere
on
the
internet
these
days
without
seeing
the
pictures
of
that
baby
Macaque
in
a
Japanese
zoo
who
was
rejected
by
his
mother
and
spent
lonely
days
dragging
around
a
stuffed
monkey
for
comfort
.
No
one
could
stand
it
,
the
innocence
and
dejection
and
sadness
written
all
over
his
almost
human
face
,
his
little
hands
clinging
to
the
dingy fur
of
a
ragged
toy orangutan.
When
the
baby
was
finally
hugged
and
groomed
by
an
adult
monkey
it
felt
like
a
release
.
We
were
all
carrying
the
weight
of
a
small
monkey
’s
loneliness
,
and
we
felt
hugged
ourselves
when
we
looked
at
the
picture
of
one
small
creature
wrapped
in
the
arms
of
another
.
I
think
that
the
communal
pool
of
empathy
that
was
generated
by
a
few
pictures
of
a
lonely
primate
could
have
cured
the
world
’s
loneliness
epidemic
if
,
instead
of
remaining
glued
to
our
screens,
we
had
all
turned
to
the
person
next
to
us
and
opened
our
arms
.

let's
risk
an
awkward
moment
in
pursuit
of
something
meaningful
.
not
a
fleeting
greeting
,
but
a
coming
together
of
these
soft
cages
that
flood
our
souls
with
blood
and
bone
.
then
we'll
know
what
it
is
to
be
held
and
heard
.
