A group of scientists put five monkeys in a cage. In the middle of the cage there is a ladder that leads to the top of the cage where there are some bananas. Every time a monkey goes to the top to take the bananas, the scientists wet the rest of the monkeys with cold water.
After awhile; the monkeys realized that each time one of them goes to the top to take some bananas, the rest will have to face the cold water. So they started to hit any monkey that tries to go the top to take some bananas. After a period of time none of the monkeys dare to climb the ladder to take the bananas in spite of all temptations, fearing of being beaten.
Then scientists decided to do a swap of one of the five monkeys so they replace one of the monkeys with a new monkey. The first thing was done by the new monkey is to go up the ladder to take the banana. But immediately the remaining four beat him and force him to get off. After several times of beating, the new monkey understands that he/she should not climb the ladder even though he/she does not know reason why.
After a while, the scientists also switched another one of the old monkeys with another new monkey. The next thing the new monkey tried to do is to climb to ladder to get some bananas. Not surprisingly, the new monkey got beaten by all four monkeys including the first monkey that got in the cage.

Then scientists kept watching the monkeys behavioral and also replace an old monkey with a new one until the replacement of all the monkeys were done to the whole five monkeys. The new five monkeys behave the same that they start to hit any monkey that tries to go the top to take some bananas without the knowing why they were doing that to each other.
If we suppose .. we ask why monkeys beat the other monkey?
Sure the answer will be: We do not know, but we found our fathers and grandfathers to on certain Customs and traditions
I believe there are two things are limitless ... Science and human stupidity
Thus, Einstein said
" Customs and traditions " in out daily lives makes stay in the routine and fear to change
