As a child, the elephant leg tied to a strong pole. At first he tried to pull and jerk the pole.But because the pole is very strong and the elephant was a child, he had not managed to free himself. Any business which he did in vain, and only cause pain. Finally, after trying repeatedly and failed, the elephant in despair. Even had grown up and has great strength, the elephant still feel that he does not munkin managed to escape from a rope knot. He has been conditioned to accept the condition was and did not try to change his fortunes. (Dr. Arthur Caliandro, Marble Collegiate Church of New York City)
