Monk-like

Containing both the positive and negative aspects of life as a monk at the same time.

That guy "Taoist Monk" seems to exude both the positive and negative sides of being a monk. On one hand he means well and seems to be helpful but he's also celibate. He' seems very Monk-like.

monk-like existence

The life of a bachelor, possibly a "confirmed bachelor." Living a life with no intent of marriage or family.

"I shall continue the monk-like existence that has characterised my life hitherto."
