I would quite happily be your slave.
Labor work is the most rewarding work, Monkey told me and he is right, he did have a party when he was 20. He lives in reality he told me, he is a realist. I suppose I just thought, "if only what you call reality was something more appealing".
"You're living dream land" he said, well yeah I'm a Pish to water! I choose to live in dream land because it's better that way, it's better to look out the window in a physics class (when you teach about stars, do it at night for Jades sake!).
Monkey helped me quite a lot but, I would have to disagree with him saying that Buddhism is escapism like every other religion. Buddhism to me, is a philosophy not a religion, if you want to say something is religious, everything is.
People do retreats maybe for some kind of escapism from the real world which is in a big mess, it is escapism because when you have to go back to the "real world" it is a vexation to your peaceful soul and it is very difficult to with stand that.
But(yes you can start a sentence with that word - if you want to that is!)But, if the the whole world was a retreat centre and everyone in it were Buddhists, it might be a very different story Monkey, maybe you wouldn't call me "dream girl" any more. Why do you call me "Cali-pa-nay" -i'm not a "My Little Pony"! i'm a "Ninga Turtle".
