When you buy a new clock, it always shows the time as 10:10, did you ever realized?
I once thought of this and one interesting thing I analyzed
I’ll try and explain this in a simple way, for someone to relate
If you don’t like it, you of course can curse me more in public on a Facebook update
A scientist once placed 5 monkeys in a cage
They were all very sophisticated, educated and had sage
He put a ladder in the middle and kept few bananas on the top
As expected monkey’s started jumping with excitement without a stop
But every time any monkey went up the ladder to eat
He soaked rest of monkeys with cold water from head to feet
After a while, every time a monkey climbed the ladder for banana eating
The moment he came down from ladder, rest of them mercilessly stared beating
Now after sometime, no monkey dared to go up the ladder regardless of the temptation
All were behaving as if they have come on very composed family vacation
Scientist then decided to substitute one of the monkey
New one immediately jumped up the ladder like a superman called ‘Spunky’
Little did ‘Spunky’ knew when he got down
Other would beat him up left, right and center to give him the welcome crown
After several beatings ‘Spunky’, accepted not even to look up and try
Even though he never knew the reason why
Now the 2nd monkey was substituted and same thing occurred
‘Spunky’ also took part in this beating the new member, even adding his curse word
The 3rd monkey was changed and the same thing was repeated
The beatings of this 3rd one got more violent and heated
4th monkey was replaced and he saw the bananas kept uneaten
The sec. he stepped down he was thrashed and beaten
Finally the 5th one was replaced
After his beatings, his face was red like a tomato paste
Now what was left in cage were 5 new monkey
Chunky, Clunky, Funky, Hunky and our very dear superman ‘Spunky’
Even though these handsome faces never got cold shower
But they continued to attack any monkey, who even looked up at banana flower
No one knows the actual reason of doing this and thus not amend
They are just doing the same thing, like following an invisible fashion trend
Had it been possible to ask these monkeys, as in, why they would beat up all those?
Whosoever attempted to go up the ladder to touch that banana rose
I bet you, they would answer
“I don’t know, but that’s how the things are done here and I don’t have a clue”
Why clocks are still kept at 10:10, is the same reason without a logic view
Few of us might be thinking, this sounds familiar to situations in my life
Where I can’t answer why am I doing the same things like a robotic surgical knife?
Other may be thinking, it does not relate to me because I’m wise
But why then do you remain confused, stuck up sometime in thoughts, decisions and situations you guys?
They say, it’s insanity to expect a different result from the same actions
Our life is a canvas of some sorted and confused abstractions
So whenever you get stuck up, are confused and decide to give up and stay
Remember, there is always a different way to do things in a better way, a better way and a better way
