There are two possibilities as there are two sides to the issue.

One possibility is if the Ant takes cognition from GH she too will turn
lethargic,
idling, foodless and shelterless.

Other possibility is if the GH emulates from the industrious Ant, it will do
away
with perennial grumblings at someone else's prosperity.

Final decesion, final choice and final pick is always one's own, there can
be no
end to discussion !
