An elephant in the circus is binded by a heavy iron chain to a fix structure from young. The elephant tries to pull himself away from the structure. He tries and tries but he realise that with every pull, his leg hurts. After many attempts, he stops trying and stays put.
When tat happens, the circus keeper changes the chain to a rope which even you or i can pull apart , but because the elephant is programmed to know that it hurts when he tries to pull away, he doesn't bother to try to break free even thou he wants the freedom. But if he were to try it this time, he would realise that the rope is really easily breakable and the forest is just within a short reach.
So the choice lies in the elephant. If you are so fixated on the rope and the boring structure...... how can u realise the forest out there?
