You often hear people say that they had trouble going to sleep last night because of that darn monkey mind or experienced the frustration of being unable to be at peace after a conflict (internal or external) that is long past its due date.
And you probably have all sorts of reasons/theorems why – yet the monkey won’t stop? For me, the monkey mind could run for an hour or for days/weeks – with myself using the same reasons/theorems/excuses to justify this uncomfortable tension and lack of internal peace. Then wondering why that monkey is STILL taking leaps and bounds and peace seems so far away.
