I was going through my notebook and came across "The Buddha's fourth sign was a man in a robe wandering and begging. He gave up everything to wander, beg, and seek answers to this miserable existence."
I found a lot of consolation in that. The lifestyle of the wanderer appealed to me. I don't really have anything to renounce, just a few pictures, extra clothes, some candles, and some notebooks lol. I think I'm gonna just wander, beg, and seek answers and enlightenment. I find that the more possessions I have, the more anxieties and stress there is.
So, I've prayed and prayed to God for answers about what my vocation is and God hasn't really given any. Maybe this is it. I listen to my heart and it tells me to own nothing and become a wanderer who does nothing but seek answers, understanding, wisdom, and enlightenment. I don't think my probation officer will be too pleased with my decision and it won't make mom and Dad proud, but oh well. Does that lifestyle appeal to anyone else here?
