More and more of my acquaintances are becoming Buddhist monks, and those who haven’t yet are planning to. In reality, Buddhism has many good ideas that can be useful even if you don’t intend to become a monk. Things like emotional control, the ability to endure difficult but inevitable events, and a kinder, more understanding attitude toward others and all living beings. I also like the concept of karma, which has several meanings but always leads to the same conclusion. The meaning of karma that I like the most is the idea that every action we take will have consequences that affect us. Buddhism seems to have many simple ideas, yet we often forget them (or maybe it’s just me). Other than that, I barely talk to anyone again. Everyone has gone their separate ways, and I’ve lost all the social connections I had built up once more. On top of that, I constantly doubt any content I create. While taking photos, I already feel disappointed, thinking that hardly anyone will see them. It makes me feel like my content is bad, even though I know that’s not true. So I have to normalize my thoughts first and only then create.
