One Step Ahead; Time to Contemplate

The above picture is one I took of a monkey fleeing a pack of pariah hounds in Udaipur, India. The picture below is of a different monkey, in the same place, taking time to reflect on life and look cool.

Given that this monkey is, at almost all times, in danger of being run down by hounds and torn to lavish tatters, yet still manages to find time to relax, chill out, and contemplate the larger things in life (presumably), I think it might not be that hard for us to do the same type of thinking despite life's stresses.
