RE: The fourth monkey doesn't see, hear or speak, WHY? Because often these days, even when people are together, they are alone!

Just so you realize @clio you are adding depth and culture to steem with your blog posts.

This comment is semi-sarcastic and a compliment just the same.

Great job on the material you produce. I'm impressed!

Thank you @intelliguy. It's a bit difficult to understand how a comment can be semi-sarcastic and a compliment just the same, but I take it as you wrote it. Thanks for the compliment in your last sentence.

Semi-sarcastic, because when you said this:

As I said in the beginning of this story. There are so many people who behave like the fourth monkey. Please don't be one of them.

By identifying the fourth monkey, which is true, but still awful to know there is a 4th monkey which the idea that they are among us reverses the possibility of those types of people adding depth and culture to steem.

However the material you just produced deserves a compliment. You took history and turned into present day. You basically drew the parallel lines in your blog. That to me is really adding depth and culture to steem. :)

I felt conflicted when I read the blog. At first we're pointing out how stupid and ignorant people are... yet on the other hand to do that still manages to elevate the people here.

Maybe that's why comment came out that way. :)

Thank you for the explanation. Now I understand completely what you meant. You see, I was a history teacher once and you never lose that educational trait.
I was surprised that so many people recognized themselves (or someone else) in that fourth monkey! I hope I made something clear to them.

You did. It's an important realization and lesson. Thanks for it.
