     Stopping to smell the flowers takes some time
away from doing other things, but it's nice to do,
tedious maybe, but nice.

     Oh, so a monkey exists and then we define that
monkey.  So, there was a monkey before I defined it. 
That's what we're saying, and so are you, I guess. 
Thus, we-monkey are tied together in a relationship. 
In this relationship between monkey and us we are
given these concepts.  These concepts only arise when
monkeys and humans come together.  Thus, these
concepts depend on monkeys and humans.

> the words "monkey", "fur", and "opposable thumb" are
human terms.

     Human terms that we, as humans, wouldn't have if
monkey's were not around.  Thus, we depend on monkey's
being here for us to define a reality that has
monkey's.  Monkey's gone, but trees still here, then
we depend on a reality that involves trees.  Reality
is made up of trees, birds, water, sun, etc... and
this reality, also known as the universe, depends on
all of this being here for us to be able to define
such 'things' if we were so inclined.  Our reality,
this very reality we define, is a reality based on
this earth, with all of the valleys and mountains,
trees touching the sky, etc...  You can trace this
whole universe, that tiny bit that anybody can even
notice, by allowing your eyes to follow the contours
of the leaves, horizon, hills, grass blades, rocks,
moon, clouds, etc...  If the earth and sky were not
here, how could we be here.  Not really sure how you
merely saying words, all of sudden makes you the very
life of everything that exists.  Isn't that a bit
much?

P.S.  Oh, and what of "...we depend on monkey's to
provide us with concepts about what a monkey is."  You
never did comment on that.  If monkey's were not here,
how could we still measure monkey's.  We need monkey's
to measure monkey's.  Monkey's give us that.
