“Why did the monkey fall off the tree? Because it let go. Why did the elephant fall off the tree? Because it was holding onto the monkey. Why did the giraffe fall off the tree. Because it thought that’s the game everyone was playing.”
- Sawan Shah
So who are you going to be? The giraffe who followed what everyone else did? The elephant who got too attached and became dependant on the monkey? Or the monkey who did what it had to do - in this case choosing to let go and let nature take it’s course?

Beautiful, but would not have understood the message without your analysis. No matter what, letting go will always be a long and arduous journey..especially for those ordinary folks who are trapped in the cycle of pursuits, needless as they may appear to those looking in from outside. As their insight grows, so will their ability to let go…so, it is not all hopeless.
