Once I happened to meet a man who catches monkey for a living. Out of curiosity i asked him how he catches them as they are kinda intelligent as humans. The reply I get made me wonder how dump the monkeys are.
What he said was that he usually needs some favorite food of monkeys which is solid and should be over 5 cm diameter(preferably some nuts). He places some of them in places which are accessible for the monkeys. They come and eat them. They will get an idea about the taste of the food. Next is the fun part.
He take a small bird cage and put the remaining food in it. When he leave the place the monkeys come and try to pick the food. They can put their hand inside the cage but cant get the food out because of its size. But the monkeys are reluctant to leave because of greed. This will leave them struck in cage. Within few minutes the man comes back and calmly tie the monkeys one by one. Even after the arrival of the man the monkeys wont put the food back in the cage and run.Thus their greed ultimately leads to their end.
Moral: Not only in monkeys, we can find such greed in lots of humans who will have the same end. Give the brain its chance to choose things rather than giving full control to the heart (except for love where heart triumphs).
