Marblehead Posted September 10, 2017 I never did get into the study of the Chinese language. But for someone like me, Pinyin would be better.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's the point of helping people if they don't want to help themselves? I see humanity going in a downward spiral. People don't care about the environment- the planet they depend on. All people care about is entertainment and collecting crap they don't need. And having more kids. It's so obvious that overpopulation is becoming a huge problem yet everyone still wants to keep reproducing.  I feel I'm supposed to be a healer and a teacher. I want to teach about the Dao. But will anyone listen? I thought about becoming a Zen priest, but I don't know if I can take vows to be compassionate if humanity keeps being so self-destructive. Maybe it's because I'm in the US and I'm surrounded by "lol what war are we gonna start next omg." But occasionally I feel like war is a good thing if only to help control the ridiculous population explosion. I don't know, maybe I'll sell all my stuff and go live in the woods.  I understand you . But it seems to me that it is not right to get discouraged and concentrate on the negative. In any case, if you want to change something, then you need to act no matter what. Of course, it's impossible to change everyone, but if you help a few people it's already better then nothing. And yes, as already mentioned here, one must follow one's heart.  Sincerely, Pavel. Edited December 25, 2017 by Pavel Karavaev 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
