I do remember when I was fifteen years old, and - oh! - how the surrounding society felt alien to me. At school we were instructed to start planning for our future studies leading to future careers. I was not interested in those plans, I only wanted to live in a secluded zen monastery. Or possibly in a remote hermit hut, devoting myself to a peaceful spiritual path. And then there are mornings like today when I realize that I'm doing pretty well in the process of making my dreams come true =)
