PSYCHOLOGY 101- Behavior Experiment

 If you start with a cage containing four 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.

ALL the monkeys are sprayed with cold water.  After a while another monkey makes an attempt with the same result.  As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray ALL the monkeys 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 monkey. 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 four monkeys, replacing it with a new monkey. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment – with enthusiasm -- because he is now part of the "team."

  Then, replace a third original monkey with a new monkey, followed by the fourth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked.

 Now, 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, not one 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 is how today's parliament operates; and this is why, from time to time:


 ALL of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME!

 DISCLAIMER:  This is meant as no disrespect to monkeys.

Jack LaLanne -- A Man WAY Ahead of His Time!

Jack LaLanne, also known as “the godfather of fitness,” was enormously popular from the 1950s to the 1980s, when his TV program  “The Jack LaLanne Show” aired (the first-ever devoted to exercise).

The two videos below are just snippets of his teachings, but they are incredible! Jack LaLanne was clearly 50 years ahead of his time.

Amazing Wildlife Metaphor of How You CAN Make a Difference!

Mercola; I love this video because it is a message that, to me, reinforces my belief that you and I WILL change this system that is KILLING hundreds of thousands of innocent victims every year.
