its amazing how everybody seems to want to be, or look like someone else, and that they need so many things, other than clothes and food, there is little else one needs, a home is of course preferable, but there are of course many unfortunate people who lack any kind of home, or a house really, if people were content with what they had the world would be a lot happier, and its always the poorest countries which are happier according to scientists, maybe its because they don’t have a choice, or there just happy with the simple things in life, happiness has to arise from within, the further I go the more I know this is the right path for me, i’m not going to do things just because everybody else is doing them, that’s such a weak excuse, thou I know it arises from the ego, people just trying to fit in, and feel normal, when who’s normal, what’s normal anyway, its amazing how powerful the ego is, telling us we enjoys things that clearly harms us and those around us, by just brushing it off with some stupid excuse, and its funny how the two worst drugs in the world are legal, and the government makes so much money off, of it, more people die from smoking each than all the other elicit drugs put together, not to mention alcohol, which kills just as many, yet because its acceptable by society we seem to brush it off as alright, and its not like its hard to get any drug what so ever, you just have to walk down some streets and people come up to you, let alone being in a club, I don’t know if I follow the greens idea but at least there trying something different because what’s in place is definitely not working, I know more people that smoke dope than cigarettes, and even some states its legal, and may even have medicinal benefits, which would make more sense as it is natural, rather than some other chemicals manufactured in a lab somewhere, if the government was smart, they could regulate each drug and sell it cheap, which would wipe out most of the criminal underworld, as there would be less people committing crimes trying to feed there habit, and the gangs would have nothing left to deal in, and the government could make cash out of it as well, and that would take out the multibillion dollar industry within a year, because then people would know exactly what they where getting, and the government could keep it clean, and regulate the dosage, so people wouldn’t OD, or have allergic reactions to the other crap that people just chuck in, the problem is I guess its hard to know what would happen, cause you cant go back once its in place, but something needs to be, for people with addictive personalities will always find something to feel dependant on, because of there ego telling them that its alright if it kills me and my family because it makes me feel good, it just sounds so stupid, maybe its how where bought up, or its in the genes, because each culture has its problems, some its smoking, drinking, some its weed, some its opium, I guess what ever is available will do when you think you need something anything will do, drugs will always be around, and people will always take them legal or not, safe or harmful, maybe instead of focusing upon the criminal element of it, maybe focus upon more education, or maybe because it illegal and people like to be naughty and risky, adding an element of excitement to the experience, i’m not to sure why people feel they have to do it on a regular basis, I can understand trying new things, that is fair enough, how can you knock without trying it, but many people judge other one what they don’t understand or have never experienced, how can people tell others what to do when they don’t know what they feel, or understand, and just because their satisfied with doing what ever it is there doing, doesn’t mean that its even right, or even more, that everyone else should do it, why make people do what they don t enjoy just because your stuck doing it, and why do people judge so quickly what is good for, and that they rate a non wasteful life upon how much money they have, or how good a job they have, or how big there house is, these are such empty rewards, what about feeing your mind, emotional intelligence is far more beneficial than intellectual, its no good be really smart if you cant communicate or survive in a group of people, there was once a time when I thought that if I got this and achieved that then I would be happy, but I soon realised that as soon as you get it, your looking for the next thing to achieve, that next hurdle, or mountain to climb, why is it less respectable to be garbage man than a teaching, the world needs both just as much, probably need a garbage more and more as the amount of crap we produce each year, imagine if that was left out on the street for even a month and the amount of disease that would arise would wipe out all the sick, young and elderly, but people are more and more teaching there own children at home, to be intelligent should be a judge of an individual, but how compassionate, giving and helpful they are, like the dalai lama, mother Teresa, Fred hollows, these people who give the most ultimate gift in the universe, which is there own time and love to help other beings, not judging them for their likes or dislikes, religion or non, hetero or gay, old or young, rich or poor, if you take away everything we all owned, all you would see are naked beings, all the same, like we see other animals, we are far lower upon the civilisation stakes than so many other amazing animals, what animal fights over clothing, gold or buildings, but over food and land, and what animal kills another for fun, or any other emotion other than life, to live is all they know yet we take, take, take, take, for no reason other than greed, thinking to much about there own petty self, which can so easily turn to anger and fear, which coexist anger and fear are inseparable, one follows the other

does man have a destiny, fate, it’s a funny thing, wondering about everything, very mind boggling, but I think there has to be, for there is reason for all that’s lives, and all that feels, from the smallest being to the largest, strongest to the weakest, we should look after all beings, and protect all that se can, and not be so selfish, and think about ourselves, for the small pleasures of eating a piece of meat, because its not a necessity in this society, so other than gluttony and selfishness, or just plain contempt for the compassion of all beings, I see no other reason, why does a being have to die for a such a small reward, and the amount of disease which can arrive from such acts, it’s a lot healthy to just each fruits, vegies and nuts which have more than enough goodness, weak weak weak weak, the more I practice the more I know i’m on the right path, the result is of no concern, why think of buying, if u have no money to spend, why eat when your not hungry, it’s a lot of fun to learn another language, and about another culture so different to your own, doesn’t it make more sense to go through life without harming any beings, or through your action to cause as little suffering as possible, and to increase the love and compassion toward all beings, north south east and west, seen and not seen, I think I’ve finally found my passion, even though I may be a poor practitioner I now know of goals, and a feeling of accomplishment, that not only benefits myself but all beings around the universe, if I can now only get through the rest and not harm anyone either, directly or indirectly I will be very pleased, guilt free and not so afraid, no longer concerned about gaining empty possessions, or upgrading the ones I have, or becoming a slave to money, and what society says will make me happy, with its emptiness that blinds and only just feeds our immediate needs, and yet leaves us empty inside with nothing really all that nourishing or lasting, if we satisfied and happy with what we had, y do we need more and more, life has never been so physically easy in our existence, and yet the biggest illness arising now is depression, hello everybody doesn’t this tell you something, intellectually and emotionally times have never been tougher, as over population of 95% of all the 2/3’s of this planets land, rapes the earth till we ourselves are unable to breath, but seeing as very little leaves this planet, when we pass it will restore itself to its previous glory and wonder, I will be glad to leave it for some time, from this backward society that adores actors and sportsmen which only delude us further millions of dollars to lies and deceive, and to distract us from what is really rising and falling, and yet doctors who save lives daily get very little in comparison, doubt any of these people get even a millions dollars for just six months of work, when other entertainers get millions and millions of dollars a year, including tens, and hundreds of millions of dollars, it just doesn’t make sense, we reward those who deceive and distract compared to those who save lives, and try to increase peoples quality of life, and yet when these entertainers make a mistake everyone in the media is so quick to judge, there only another human being, no more special than a homeless person on the street, each individual has a gift and must utilise it to fulfil there destiny, but something has to go wrong soon, I’ve had such a good run lately I cant believe it even thou I was told it would be, I never thought about it becoming true, very interesting, this magic I have found, very interesting
