Hey there Anna.

I guess its true not all advice is perfect. I try to understand and follow my path as best as I can. And I definitely agree on self polishing and refining towards good.
I can see your point on both the ‘overly focused on ego corporate people’ and the 60’s hippies. Those are extremes that should be avoided and honestly I have never desired to be a part of either.

As for your last recommendation. I’m afraid that wouldn’t be easy. I’m pretty sure there’s no organized buddhist sect in hundreds of miles around me. The idea of a mentor is appealing, but I wouldn’t know where to find one I could physically meet.

Thanks for your reply. I’ll keep in mind I should follow my life path and trust it.
