Life is in the blood.
Dark was the night. **Cold was the ground, and wet.**
One stormy night, the biggest ape took refuge from the lashes of the rain beneath a magnificent oak tree. *"Magnificent"* thought the biggest ape as he gazed the upon the branches stretching far and wide. The night was cold, some cold drops still found their way to his back. But right here, sitting on the biggest root, the biggest ape was at peace. All he had to do is wait.
Two men appeared from each side of the road. One from the east, the other form the west.
"Can I join?", said the main from the east.
"May I sit?", said the man from the west.
*Yes*, nodded the biggest ape.
The men sat. The man from the east opened a small wooden box revealing exquisitely made little figurines. He bowed down an started to pray.
The other man took a book out of his bag. A red book with a shining blue sword on the cover. And started to read.
When the first man had finished, the second one said: "I see you are religious man."
- "I am, I see you do not believe in the gods." Answered he, pointing at the book.
- "I do not. I believe in the power of reason. Man has no need for supersistitions."
- "Reason is limited. How can you speak thus, have you never made a mistake in your life."
- "Have your gods answered all your prayers."
Both men remained silent as they looked at each other.
- "What say you, ape?" Said the man from the east.
Looking at the figurines in the man's box, he answered, his deep voice echoing the rumbles of the skies:
*"They have eyes, yet they do not see. They have hands, yet they do not make. They have mouths yet do not speak."*
Then turning towards the others man's book, he paused.
*"Your sword has two edges, yet it does not cut."*
*"Life is the blood"*, said the biggest as he was making his leave.
*Life is in the blood.*
Thus spake Apathustra.
