He has no memory of the past, no knowledge of the future, and he only cares about two things: easy and fun.
Now, in the animal world, that works fine.
If you're a dog and you spend your whole life doing nothing other than easy and fun things, you're a huge success!
And to the Monkey, humans are just another animal species. You have to keep well-slept, well-fed and propagating into the next generation, which in tribal times might have worked OK.
ps:對(duì)猴子來(lái)說(shuō)遥赚,人類只是另一種動(dòng)物。你必須保持良好的睡眠讲坎,良好的飲食和傳播到下一代愧薛,這在部落時(shí)代可能已經(jīng)工作得很好晨炕。

But, if you haven't noticed, now we're not in tribal times. We're in an advanced civilization, and the Monkey does not know what that is.
