Kikazaru: mono represented as the deaf, was in charge of using the sense of sight to see everyone who performed evil deeds to pass it to Mizaru by voice. Mizaru: the monkey was blind. Did not need his sense of sight, since it is responsible for carrying the messages that had Kikazaru until the third monkey Iwazaru.
Iwazaru: the third of three monkeys was dumb monkey, Iwazaru, I heard the messages transmitted by Mizaru to decide the penalty for the gods to fall to the unfortunate and found to comply.
Beyond its evolution over time, this legend is a wonderful compendium of social life and man's attitude. The gods entrusted the task to a group, not just one, and each had virtues, but a defect. One was deaf, blind and dumb one, but complemented each other, knew their role and fulfilled according to the instructions of the gods.
The order was formed and executed in a group sense, and every one of those who held that status knew I needed the other, because he had a disability or defect. Modern societies often forget these conditions and assume an attitude distinctly authoritarian paternalism disguised.
many companies live for years, decades, unable to choose their lifestyle, their representatives, because leaders say they are not prepared or that only they can decide. Or will I vote for me, or return the disaster we've lived. Sound familiar, and repeated especially in young Latin American nations, that the pendulum between the elected branches and the de facto power, and between free expression and authoritarianism of any kind, left, right, center, old Again, very old or very new.
A figure of the wise monkeys, I prefix two images that oppose him, that of the sheep and the donkey. The sheep is an animal young, inexperienced, it needs to grow and train. Likely to be confused for a few more experts or more adults, and taken leave no will, but those that are confusing. Many sectors of our societies adopt this attitude, fear, indifference, convenience, ignorance or convenience.
The danger of this attitude is that it spreads to others in the industry and sometimes to other sectors. The donkey is a horse small-eared, which in its second definition takes the figure of a person without lights ignorant or misplaced. Many sectors with power, take the figure of the donkey, they feel so much power that their behavior often work against him, and that of their peers, forcing many to follow in his blunders.
still stubborn and obedient to their behavior, not understanding, sometimes inadvertently, that deteriorates the displacements and the delay in the implementation of their projects. Many times one feels the sorrow and the sadness of being in a society of sheep and donkeys, instead of a wise monkey society. Back to the legend. Wise monkeys are sent from the gods. Therefore necessary, and are in the social body but sometimes go unnoticed.
Over time we seen many times how they have gone unnoticed for now, and how others have recovered their value and especially its message and brand, have pointed out the evils and have tried to be their sentences. The important thing is to perceive at the time, listen, take into account their ideas and try to take advantage of them.
compare it with the attitude we have towards life, to society and to our contemporaries, and to some extent try to change for the better. I remember a phrase from an Argentine newspaper attributed to Socrates: God put me on the city like a horsefly on a noble horse to sting and keep you awake.
