Wonderful story and so true!!!
-----Read to the end then you will understand
Phychology 101
If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage,
hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of stairs
under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb
toward the banana.
As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with
cold water. After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result
... all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when
another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to
prevent it.
Now, put the cold water away.
Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new
monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, all
of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him. After another attempt and
attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.
Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a
new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous
newcomer takes part in the punishment... with enthusiasm.
Then, replace a third original monkey with a new one, followed by a
fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs he
is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why
they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they
are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.
Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the
remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless,
none of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana.
Why, you ask? Because in their minds... that is the way it has always
been!
This, my friends, is how Congress operates... and is why, from time to
time, all of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME.
