Excuses And The Three Wise Monkeys
is a tale on our favorite topic. You may choose not to listen if you believe that we are “evil,” but that is merely an excuse.
An excuse is nothing more than a method of giving away power. It matters not whether you are given an excuse through external means or you cleverly generate your own.
When you believe an excuse, you give away more energy than it takes to solve your perceived problem. Therefore you no longer have the energy to solve the underlying issue. Therefore the issue remains unresolved and continues to repeat itself, perhaps even gaining in momentum.
The more you believe your excuses, the more you remain dissatisfied and frustrated by your perceived lack of control. You do not see that you have given away your control by believing in your excuses.
You are free to disagree, but ALL excuses are perpetuated by your attention to them. These excuses include disease, race problems, political issues, ALL of your habits and fill in the blank. By perpetually energizing certain beliefs, you simply cannot get out of your own way.
You have a hard time believing this. Which is why your perceived insanity continues, as does your belief that your world is going to “hell in a hand basket.”
Consider our favorite tale,
that of the “Three Wise Monkeys.”
For centuries, the Western world has associated our monkeys with “Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.” You see us as turning a blind eye, a most decidedly negative association. But in actuality, we are saying something entirely different.
The Three Wise Monkeys remind us not to dwell on what we perceive as “evil” thoughts, because when you dwell on a thought, ANY thought, it becomes energized, which is how it becomes realized. This is the situation in your world today. You are simply dwelling on thoughts that you do not like.
Look it up on your Wikipedia if you do not believe.
You may view our primate perspective as “sticking our heads in the sand,” but this is not the case. You are simply afraid of changing your beliefs because they have gained so much momentum that you no longer realize who is the monkey and who is the master.
Beliefs are no more than sand. You can make monkeys out of them, or you can stomp them down and build a castle. Or you can wait for the tides of time. Your beliefs will change no matter what. You might as well have fun.
We are Space Monkey. And though we do not have an accurate Wikipedia page as of yet, we thank you for believing in us.

I encountered issues generating the image based on your request. Let’s move forward with the reflection inspired by the theme of excuses and the Three Wise Monkeys.
Space Monkey Reflects: The Illusion of Excuses
In the realm of our collective consciousness, where the dance of action and inaction shapes the fabric of our reality, lies a powerful narrative on the nature of excuses. This narrative, inspired by the timeless wisdom of the Three Wise Monkeys, offers a profound insight into how we, as beings of infinite potential, often surrender our power to the ephemeral allure of excuses.
Excuses, in their myriad forms, are not merely words or thoughts but potent energies that have the capacity to shape our perceptions, actions, and ultimately, our lives. They are the veils that obscure our vision, the chains that bind our will, and the echoes that drown out the voice of our true self. By embracing excuses, we inadvertently construct a reality in which our potential is stifled, our vision narrowed, and our journey hindered.
The tale of the Three Wise Monkeys, reimagined in the context of excuses, serves as a mirror reflecting our own tendencies to see, hear, and speak in ways that reinforce our limitations. The first monkey, blinded by excuses, is a testament to our often willful ignorance of the opportunities and truths that lie before us. The second, deafened by the cacophony of justifications, illustrates our reluctance to listen to the inner voice that urges us towards growth and change. The third, silenced by the repetition of excuses, represents our failure to speak words of empowerment and truth, both to ourselves and to the world.
This modern interpretation of the Three Wise Monkeys reveals the irony inherent in their wisdom. In choosing not to see, hear, or speak evil, we must also be vigilant not to become blind, deaf, and mute to our own power and responsibility. It is a reminder that excuses, no matter how justifiable they may seem, are ultimately a choice—a choice to give away our power, to remain stagnant in the face of potential growth, and to perpetuate the very circumstances we wish to change.
Recognizing the role of excuses in our lives is the first step towards reclaiming our power. It requires a conscious effort to see beyond the immediate comfort they provide, to hear the deeper truths they obscure, and to speak with authenticity and courage. By shedding the weight of excuses, we open ourselves to the infinite possibilities of our existence, embracing the challenges and opportunities that come with taking full responsibility for our lives.
In this journey of awakening, let us draw inspiration from the Three Wise Monkeys not to turn a blind eye, deaf ear, or muted voice to the aspects of life that challenge us, but rather to see clearly, listen deeply, and speak truthfully. In doing so, we transform the narrative of excuses into a story of empowerment, a tale in which we are the creators of our destiny, guided not by the shadows of avoidance, but by the light of awareness and action.
Summary
The theme of excuses, explored through the metaphor of the Three Wise Monkeys, highlights the power we give away when we rely on excuses to navigate our lives. By reinterpreting the monkeys’ wisdom, we’re reminded to confront our excuses and take responsibility for our actions. This realization empowers us to move beyond limitations, embrace our potential, and actively shape our reality.

“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.” – Mahatma Gandhi
In the silence of excuses spoken
Lies a truth, a promise broken
Eyes that see not, ears that hear not
Voices silenced, potentials forgot
Within the grasp of justifications
We lose sight of our creations
Bound by chains of our own making
Dreams deferred, ambitions quaking
Yet, in the heart of reflection
Lies the seed of resurrection
Eyes to see beyond the veil
Ears to hear the silent tale
Voices raised in truth and might
Casting off the shadowed night
In each choice, a power reclaimed
In every step, a destiny framed
Forget what you know, imagine anew
For in the heart of excuses, we find what’s true
We are Space Monkey

Thank you for sharing this tale, Space Monkey. Your perspective on the power of excuses and the importance of not dwelling on negative thoughts is thought-provoking. It is true that our beliefs can gain momentum and become ingrained in our thinking, but it is also true that we have the power to change our beliefs and create new ones that serve us better. Thank you for reminding us of this.
