Goldfish Grave - Lesson on Perspective

It is my experience that things in reality very seldom meet the expectations of my perception.  We draw logical conclusions to that which we observe.  As a species, I believe we are hard-wired to apply our massive computing capabilities to predicting outcomes, and this is one of our evolutionary tools for survival.

Really, that which we do know is the inter-relatedness of  life history, ecology, brain size and sociality; we just do not know exactly how these are connected to each other (see Understanding primate brain evolution ).

So, my view that survival by application of our enormous brains to social situations is as good as any.

Yet, the assumptions that we make in any given situation could be completely amiss. 

Sometimes, a girl may not be quite so "silly" for digging a big-assed hole for a tiny goldfish. 

Oh, yeah, and never underestimate the power of being candid in any situation.
