The tied elephant syndrome 😱😱
Once walking past elephants in a zoo, I suddenly stopped, surprised that such huge creatures as elephants kept in the zoo tied with a thin rope to their front leg. Neither chains nor cells. Elephants could easily break free of the rope in which they tied, but surprisingly they did not.
I went to the trainer and asked him why such majestic and beautiful animals simply stand and do not try to free themselves. He replied: “When they were young and much smaller than now, we tied them with the same rope, and now when they are adults, the same rope is enough to hold them. Growing up, they believe that this rope can hold them and they are not trying to run away.” It was amazing. These animals could get rid of their “shackles” at any moment, but because they believed that they could not, they stood there forever, not trying to free themselves.
How many of us believe that we cannot do anything, only because of what we did not work out once?
