When I first saw this image, I thought it was a simple picture of monkeys. Then, I realized that they were saying something to us. This image of three wise monkeys is known throughout the world. It means “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”.  In my country, people say that is the best way to live because they explain the gestures by “I don’t hear anything, I don’t see anything and I don’t say anything”.  By looking at the image, I have the intension that a better life supposed to be this way. As we know consciousness is connected with awareness so we can say the three wise monkeys try to tell us how to be aware in the world.
