Ages ago, when the mankind was still evolving, there were two clever monkeys.

They shared everything they found edible and were living quite a good life.

One day, monkey A found a sharp flint stone and started playing with it.

Soon, monkey A discovered that the stone can be used to sharpen sticks.

Later, after some thought, monkey A found that the stone attached to a stick, can be used for protection and to kill small animals for food.

Monkey B was very happy with monkey A sharing more food with him and decided to watch.

Soon monkey B copied the idea to 100% and made better stick with flinstone.

Monkey A got furious and told moneky B

“Give me that back! That’s my idea!”

Monkey B explained, that this is for the common good and the idea is worth much more when shared:

“Look mate, If I have one apple and you have one apple and we share them, both of us will still eat one apple. On the other hand, if you have one idea and I have other idea. When we share them, both of us will have 2 ideas. And this will make both of us better and stronger in future.”

Monkey A agreed and humanity was given a whip start, successfully leading them to present days.

…

… where the corporate monkeys obviously FORGOT the lesson of the primal ancestors Alpha and Beta.

A clever person knows that sharing is good.

The problem is greed and power.

Power corrupts!

Absolute power, corrupts absolutely!
