SPANK YOUR MONKEYS

The

 three wise monkeys

are a pictorial maxim.

 Together they embody the proverbial principle to "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil". The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil.

Sometimes there is a fourth monkey depicted with the three others; the last one, Shizaru, symbolizes the principle of "do no evil". He (She)may be shown crossing their arms.

There are various meanings ascribed to the monkeys and the proverb including associations with being of good mind, speech and action.

In the western world the phrase is often used to refer to those who deal with impropriety by looking the other way, refusing to acknowledge it, or feigning ignorance.

Having developed an interest in politics. Having participated in many heated debates with friends, family, and co-workers.  Beginning to pick up a pattern to human behavior; and not liking what I'm seeing.  

Picture this:

AL GORE 

vs.
 the dynamo tag team couple

 MOTHER TERESA & PARIS HILTON.

(for charity?  sure.  why not.)

FOR CHARITY!

(after expense)

Really!
Should it make such a difference

SPINNING THE MONKEYS

Learning you cannot be all three monkeys at the same time.  Impossible to see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil without looking the other way, refusing to acknowledge it, or feigning ignorance. Impossible to do no evil without having done something wrong. Impossible to be moral without first having been the lesser of two immoral.

No one born aspires to be lazy, drug addict, bad parent, pervert, burden, loser, criminal, etc., etc., etc.,........an ABOMINATION.

If

"all men were created equal"

then

there's nothing all that exceptional, unique, grand

about the great men and women throughout history held up as role models, examples of someone moral; 

just as

there should be nothing considered exceptional, uniquely evil

about

those considered immoral.

As

Everything has Everything to do with Everything!

coming to realization,

there is no such thing as someone evil or someone moral;

just by-products of circumstances. 

Evil is not the act of laws having been broken, perpetrators of crimes assigned names, punishment a deterrent having been too late; nor even limited to crimes against humanity.

Morals not a measure based on living within the laws of a society, ability to conform;  nor a title gracefully claimed simply having committed no crimes; infinitely challenged.

The boundaries of Evil and Morals much more subtle, diffused, difficult to define; if even possible to separate at all.

"The central defect of evil is not the sin but the refusal to acknowledge it"

 Believe my mother said it best,

"Good....

isn't  it suppose

to hurt?"
