thank you for your insights.
the reason I want to surround myself with people who share the same world view, as watergaze eloquently put it, is because of a simple reason. i met some months ago on the internet someone who was also in the path of the warrior and one only conversation with him was enough to give me a good push, it was enough to somehow wake me up a bit more and make me pratice recapitulation, something I, strangely enough, didnt even try.
we human beings are weird creatures and i find that somehow even though we have read lots of things on the books we are able to kind of act as if we didnt read anything at all. to me, to talk a bit, just a bit with someone on the same path, i find it wakes me up a bit. at least it did so one time and im hoping it will have the same results if i do it again.
the problem is that that person i met hasnt been online for months, and I, being a weird creature, perhaps need a person to whom report back to about my doings and not-doings.
