Personality Profile

The following is a stylized description of this personality type, written in the original author's uniquely humorous voice.

While others are at karaoke contemplating the tangles of love and hate, the MONK personality chooses to contemplate the great Dao at home. MONK has already seen through the mortal world and wishes no idle visitors to disturb their meditation or break their spiritual progress. MONK's personal space is their barrier, their Mount Sumeru, their absolute domain — sacred and inviolable. Trespassers will feel a suffocating pressure emanating from the depths of the soul. MONKs don't cling or entangle, because in their worldview, all things have their own independent orbits. Planets maintain billions of kilometers of distance from each other to form a harmonious universe — why can't humans do the same?
