Angry Mind
"There was a monkey, restless by his own nature, as all monkeys are. As if that were not enough someone made him drink freely of wine, so that he became still more restless. Then a scorpion stung him. When a man is stung by a scorpion, he jumps about for a whole day; so the poor monkey found his condition worse than ever. To complete his misery a demon entered into him. What language can describe the uncontrollable restlessness of that monkey? The human mind is like that monkey." - Swami Vivekananda, Raja-Yoga
If the above described monkey represents human mind, this AK-47 wielding chimp in the video represents an "angry mind"
Gun is the anger. AK-47 is probably rage!
Look at the soldiers. Initially, they are having fun with gun wielding monkey and its antics. So do humans too. Feels good to be angry for a while. Keeps us busy.
Then watch what happens. Chimp trains the gun at the soldiers and they are scared to death.
As the acid corrodes the container it is in, the angry mind destroys the person who harbors the anger!
Better not give the gun (i.e anger) to our monkey minds and then regret when it trains it against us!

Hey this is fun loving blog. Anger has been created by the GOD. If the anger is not there than there is less wattage to happiness or Love. Balancing anger is some thing important to understand.
