I met a Buddhist monk from Thailand yesterday. I'm very upset by it.

Seeing someone so wholly and utterly devoted to the ideals of compassion and love towards their fellow man, and realizing that I've fallen so completely short of that ideal...is depressing. I concern myself with petty, trivial, and above all, selfish things to further myself and not mankind. It's a stark contrast-a buddhist monk and a military cadet. It's also strange seeing as how that's the other life I could have had. It was between going to VMI and going to the Shaolin Monastery in NYC, so it was kind of weird seeing "bizzaro me". Anyways. There is much introspection and meditation to be done.
