Monkey Committee

Note from author: This is an ultra-controversial blog posting. You have to read it carefully to understand the intricacies between the lines.

This group of people whom I am describing, I am definitely going to have a showdown with them next year.

Monkey Committee

Once upon a time, there lived a bunch of monkeys in a small small hut.

There were the very old and wise monkeys, the soon-to-be-grown-up (STBGU) monkeys, the young monkeys and the young young monkeys.

One day, the STBGU monkeys did not see eye-to-eye with the old and wise monkeys. And they liked the environment in other huts better. So one by one, slowly but surely, they left quietly....

The old monkeys thought it was okay. Their reason was that young monkeys were suppose to grow up and replace STBGU monkeys.

STBGU monkeys were quite important, as they help guide over the young and the young young monkeys and help in their development.

So, a group of young monkeys took over from the STBGU monkeys, with the blessings of the old and wise ones

At first, this group of young monkeys seem to be doing a good job at replacing all these STBGU monkeys that left.....

But soon, their heads grew bigger and bigger...... Their hearts became colder and colder.......

Soon, they took things into their own hands. They abused the old hierachy left beind by a smart STBGU and created a close-up committee to rule over the rest of the young monkeys. They called it the CLOSED-committee.

They defied the old monkeys and tried to direct the younger monkeys to outmanouvere the old and wise monkeys.

They felt that they should be allowed to do anything. Nobody should restrict them. There is no 'right or wrong'. In their eyes, those who praise them are good. Those who agree with them are good. Those who object are very bad. Those who disagree should be banished far far away.

Using the collective voice of the CLOSED-committee, they lorded over the young monkeys. They gave jobs in the hut to those that agreed with them. They admitted people into the CLOSED-committee who they like. Those that they don't like, the CLOSED-committee just ignored them whenever they have something to say. 'WE MUST MOVE ON' they yell to the young ones 'NOBODY WILL STOP US'

They think they know best. They always will insist that they are the best. After all, they hold all the power

The old and wise monkeys turned a blind eye to all these trouble. As long as the CLOSED committee doesn't cross any lines, they would keep quiet..... Some say they don't even know what has been going on....

Slowly but surely, the CLOSED committee realised that they were facing problems. They couldn't support the system that they created. They tried to ignore the problems they faced. They know that they are creating these problems that they are trying to solve, but they refused to face up. They tried to run away from the problems, hoping that the problems would go away by themselves.

They knew that if they faced up to their problems, the CLOSED-committee would fall apart. They would lose their absolute grip on the young monkeys. They would lose the capacity to do anything they like. They will lose everything.

The old and wise monkeys started to become concious of the problems. They tried to do something about it. But alas, the CLOSED-committee out-manouvered them once again, like they always do. After all, the CLOSED-committee was closer to the ground than the old and wise monkeys.

Many many young monkeys then started to see the failings of the CLOSED-committee. Small whispers started amongst themselves. Then they grew louder and louder. But the CLOSED-committee still was able to ignore these dissendents as they still deceived enough monkeys to believe that they could still lead the young monkeys. They silenced the young monkeys who disagreed.....

When committees are doing a bad job, they should just all move aside so that we can change people to do the job and see whether we can have anything new and productive.
