There’s a book called Taming the monkey mind.

[@oliveryt7168]

@@Mattls33 Wow, there's really that book. And apparently it's about Buddhism... and judging by the ratings it's a good read. Also, I like the cover design ^^

[@Mattls33]

@@oliveryt7168 Yeah I think it was about Buddhism I’m not sure I just know it had really good advice in it on how to deal with anxiety and worry. I’m not religious I’m more spiritual than anything but I feel like it did encourage me with what little bit I did read. 😊

No it is an animal going through the motions because it gets him food you are an idiot to project human traits on a animal and it is also unfair to the animal

not the cat though

[@thecooljohn100]

He didn't even push the cat away, he barely grazed it with the tips of his fingers. I'd say that's pretty respectful and peaceful

[@DriscolDevil]

I think it sensed free food, and knew to play the game. The cat was probably an acomplice, but it got greedy and went right for the freebies.

He gets to eat and meditate at the same time, what a monk ey.
