What is see no evil hear no evil speak no evil monkeys?

The “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” monkeys (also known as the three wise monkeys) represent a popular proverbial expression that depicts three monkeys, each covering a different sense organ: the eyes, ears, and mouth. The saying is believed to have originated in Japan and has been associated with the Shinto religion.

The monkey with his hands over his eyes represents "See no evil," the monkey with his hands over his ears represents "Hear no evil," and the monkey with his hands over his mouth represents "Speak no evil." Together, they symbolize the concept of turning a blind eye, deaf ear, and mute mouth towards anything unpleasant or negative.

The three wise monkeys have appeared in various forms in art, popular culture, and advertising throughout the world. They are often used to convey a message of peace, harmony, and morality. The phrase "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" has become a popular idiom in the English language, used to describe those who choose to ignore negative behaviors or actions.
