I have looked over my sins today, and they were many. I know feel and accept the fact that a change in my spiritual orientation may be required. I have always felt a strong desire to adopt the more peaceful route that is Buddhism, in part due to it's gentle emphasis on aspects such as compassion, non-violence, the principles of human nature and vegetarianism. My friend Leo on the other hand thinks otherwise. He comes with a different set of beliefs and virtues which is perfectly all right! Why Buddhism one might ask, Since I was a child I always chose to question the very existence of a higher God itself. I used to argue that I have my own virtues and that I was an atheist. Which I am still, yet Buddhism seems to hold a promise of being that pillar of support that I may confide in whenever I please and give to me a reasonable and logical answer to inner questions. Will I absorb everything the belief has to offer? Frankly I don't know, but right now it seems to be a viable option. I make no commitments as I enter this shrine to a great mind, and it asks none from me. I am at peace with that.
