This brainteaser is meant to show your morals as a person and now I’m questioning myself

People on TikTok are going mad for a brainteaser that’s meant to say a lot about your morals as a person. And now, having had a look at it for myself, I think I need a long look in the mirror too.

The image going around shows two men, and they are both reaching up towards shelves that have money on. The man on the left is stood on a set of books, and the man on the right is on the ground – both stretching up to try and get their hands on the cash.

TikTok profile SelfDevelopment71 says there’s a moral to be learned from the image. People in the comments are now sharing what it is.

Take a look at the brainteaser here, and what it’s meant to say about your morals:

According to TikTok, there’s a message behind the picture. Whilst some are joking things such as “every short person need books to reach higher”, it looks like the picture says a lot about people.

The messaging is all about how sometimes what we need is right in front of us. Notice how the men are being greedy and reaching for more money up above? Even though it’s quite clear they will never get it? It doesn’t even look as though they have seen there’s also money right in front of them. The money on the lower shelves is being ignored.

“They ignored the amount of money they could reach for. Rather those guys went to reach for that they couldn’t reach for,” one comment said. “The lesson being don’t bite more than you can chew I guess.” Another added: “Aim for something achievable.”

Other people also noticed that the man who can reach more is standing on books. They suggested a moral could be “education is key to success.”
