About Me

My name is Ben, but my friends call me Ben
I like sitting on the grass and looking at the sky to remind myself of reality. As the world moved in circles, I spiralled into a whirlpool of materialism. I forgot who I was, that everything I thought I did was an illusion, and that all time exists at the same time. But hey, lighten up, it's christmas soon!
[She means the world to me]

FOR ENLIGHTENMENT, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
"All living creatures are making a great endeavour, struggling to attain everlasting happiness. However worldly things cannot give us happiness. Regardless of the position a person may hold, he or she remains unfulfilled. Even if one is wealthy, young, beautiful, educated, famous and influential, he still looks for something more to make him happy. The little happiness we recieve in this world is momentary and mixed with suffering. It is not continuous and eternal, nor is it complete and pure. No soul identifying with a material body can be happy. This human life is meant for finding a way out of the prison of this body, which is destined to grow old and die. We want to be happy by satisfying our material bodies, but old age very quickly overtakes us and we lament. The material happiness we recieve is not really happiness; it is condensed misery. We do not understand that the soul, which is different from the body and mind, is spiritual, eternal, and full of knowledge and bliss..."
