A Monk's Perspective

 

A monk's perspective, eh? A monk's perspective. You know what I always want to hear from when I'm getting up in the morning to continue mandatory participation in a capitalist society? From some hippie who lives outside it. 

Look at him, peering at our strange lives from that little box. He can't make head nor tails of it. What's that device you're pointing at me, he says. To film me? For what purpose? For views? To what end? For GoogleAdservices dollars? What could that possibly do for you? Here, do some light agricultural work instead.

Come on, man! He's a monk! Does he even have to commute? Does he get paid? Who washes his clothes? Is it him? Does he find it therapeutic? I bet he does, the arse.

To save you from watching the video (and the thousands of others like it, lots of monks out there I guess), his 5 "things" (because we can't do "tips" anymore, just "things") are as follows:

1. Be a monk

2. Be a monk

3. Be a monk

4. Be a monk

5. Watch loads of stupid youtube videos about productivity until the sun sets again and it's time to roll over and try again tomorrow.
