Don't worry I am researching everything, My Love.

Plus, you will not get me sick. Tonites event was a new experience, I will learn how to use that to better myself.

That's cool, at least you have been exposed to the virus and have a resistance anyway.

I got a serious bout of shingles on my back 5 years ago. There's no external scarring, but a lot of internal nerve damage.

Thank you for researching me, it makes all this a lot easier and it's not like I haven't been inactive on here either. lol

Did a little research on sannyasa and by what it is said.... people get in and out of it.
It is somehow impossible.
Why isn't a nun called a householder while she still lives in a house?

It is good to take virtue. No anger, no unnecessary human conversations.

It is said that a sannyasa seeker shouldn't cook food.

I had this time when I simply stayed away from the stove and prefered to stay away from fire.
Of course there is a country and environmental friendly opportunity to act and follow sannyasa but how to do this when it is so cold outside and one needs shelter .

Maybe labelling it as this makes is so difficult to follow.


Big respect for those who see the true nature of the situation and understand it.

It is easy for myself to accept and take the virtue, but I am at a loss of how to deal with others who are much less virtuous.

Do I pity them? do I see their anger, hostility and homicidal tendencies as making me 'better than they' because I do not harbour these negative emotions?

All I can think right now when people argue and fight with each other...when my neighbours are beating each other to a pulp with their fists is; "for eff's sake...shut the hell up! you are disturbing my meditation!"

I have no sympathy or empathy for the monkeys disguised as humans and I should, but I don't. I want a lightning bolt to arrive out of the blue and put an end to it, just so I can have some peace and quiet.

Yes, I have inner peace and quiet, but I saw somebody kill another person out the front of my house yesterday...how do I deal with that?

All I can say to myself is that it didn't really happen and I just imagined that I saw it...but that makes me no different to the murderer then.

Yes, I am in the process of total renunciation and I now know why people 'renounce the world' and it's not ONLY to work on themselves as being a more spiritual person....it is because the world and its populace is such an inhospitable and violent place to sustain and nourish any form of life upon it.

Those who are virtuous are being openly persecuted and shunned simply because it's not the way the world is now...and people are running scared of facing the truth.
