We have all seen pictures
and statuettes of the three monkeys that symbolize the above phase, and we
have probably heard that phrase hundreds of times. Parts of the phrase
seem to take on a life of their own. How many of you have said, "My
mom told me if I can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all”? The
speak no evil part just seems so logical and understandable. Words are
powerful, but they can also be hurtful. So, what about the Hear and See
no evil? I think those are just as important. They mean to not let
evil influence your life. Don't watch evil on TV. Don't listen to
evil music. Don't hang out with evil people. Don't go into business
with evil partners. Don't put yourselves in situations where evil is
prevalent. Humans tend to take on the characteristics of the environment
in which they live. As such we should stay away from evil environments.
Hear no evil, See no evil, Speak no
evil. Be all three monkeys at one time!
