There are aspects of gentleness in baboons which are admirable. Here in the above shots, two females greet each other. It’s a gentle greeting, a moment when their eyes really connect. As parents both sexes have endless patience with their offspring, sentient creatures displaying care, discipline, tenderness.

They are our relatives. We can learn some tenderness from moments like this.
Yes, i must admit that when i greet people now i focus fully on their eyes!!
