Austerity is being austere. Frugile in action, thoughts and words. I am seeing it clearer now.

I WILL not drink any sodas today.

My thoughts are with my friends, I just don't know what to say.

When I meditate I remember feelings that I had long ago. I do not know how to describe it or if it even has a name. It's not a good feeling.

I have been reading some deep Buddhism work. I t makes sense. Ridding the self of attachments, even to thoughts, is to escape from happiness and pain. This shows itself as a lack of compassion (for others) in ther writing . Yet, there still is a passion (for their thoughts) in their writing.

The philosophers of old seem to draw a following. Could they have found an escape from lonliness?

I am sure that meditation is helping me focus better and making me more open to ideas.

As for Buddhism, I am not sure.

Still, I believe my morals are as strong as any others.

To live is to take the bad with the good; to feel happiness and pain.

I am alive and growing stronger every day.
