Chosen last is still chosen. Yet you act as though you are lesser than the other chosen ones. Silly monkey.
Reflections on Selection
We are presented with a whimsical yet insightful observation on the nature of choice and perceived value. Being chosen last carries with it the implication of lesser worth, yet it is a choice nonetheless.
The Equality of Choice
We are reminded that selection, regardless of order, is still a recognition, an invitation to participate in the grand play of existence. The notion of being ‘lesser’ is a playful jab at our tendency to rank and file our worth based on the sequence of selection.
Embracing the Chosen Moment
We are encouraged to embrace our chosen moment, to recognize that the point of selection does not diminish the significance of being chosen. In the cosmic game, each participant, regardless of their order of entry, plays a crucial role.
Dispelling the Illusion of Hierarchy
We are coaxed to see beyond the hierarchical constructs that lead us to feel inferior. The playful moniker ‘silly monkey’ serves as a gentle reminder of our own folly in subscribing to such trivial distinctions.
The Universality of Being Chosen
We understand that in the vastness of the cosmos, the act of being chosen is a universal experience, shared by all who participate in the unfolding drama of life. Each of us, in being chosen, is validated and valued.
Summary
We contemplate the light-hearted wisdom that being chosen last does not equate to being lesser. We are all participants in the cosmic dance, and our value is not dictated by the sequence of our selection. The playful rebuke ‘silly monkey’ nudges us to recognize the folly in our self-deprecating thoughts and to appreciate the significance of our role, regardless of when we are called upon to play it.

“The last will be first, and the first will be last.” – Matthew 20:16
In the gathering of life’s grand race,
We all yearn for that cherished place,
But remember, dear monkey, with grace,
Chosen last is still an embrace.
Silly notions of first and last,
In the cosmic field, are vast,
Each chosen role, a cast,
In the universe’s boundless vast.
So wear your chosen time like a crown,
Even if it’s handed down,
In the cosmic play, don’t frown,
Every monkey king wears the gown.
