[QUOTE="JimRinX, post: 92883, member: 6872"] Saint Soldier; I don't know if I can help you - but I can [I]relate [/I]to the emotions that led you to write this entry, and how they drive you to seek the advice/help of others, as I was once a troubled 18 year old man, too. Take, for example, your choice of 'Saint Soldier' as your 'tag'; I can tell that you long to behave in a truly Saintly manner - and that you wish that you could make others behave in a more saintly manner, as well; as I once believed that I had the Wisdom to judge those around me to teh degree that I felt that I should be allowed to [I]force them in some way or another[/I], to behave in a manner that I felt they should. The only problem is that, like most men and women so young, while you have some kind of a [I]thing within you [/I]that [I]drives you [/I]to be a Better Person - you also [I]know, [/I]deep within your Heart, that you don't [I]really have [/I]either the right to do so, or - truly - the [I]actual [/I]level of wisdom that would be neccesary for you to have, to make overiding that fundamental truth a just and fair thing to do; and that, along with so much else in the world that you see - especially those things which make you jealous with yearning, bothers you in a most profound and troubling manner. It's O.K., Saint Soldier; I wasn't able to come to terms with such feelings myself until i was at least 25!!! The answers you seek are already at hand; in the wisdom that will lead you to the Sikhi (I hope taht I use that definition right; as I mean to say a sort of Sikh 'Bhakti', but I'm a Buddhist/Sikh/Muslim/Everything - by Gods demand - and I am still learning too), in the wisdom of the Buddhas' teachings about how engaging in loving-kind mutual self sacrifice will provide everything that everyone (you too, of course) needs all of the time, the example set by Mahatma Ghandi, etc.. It just takes some time to get in tune with things; especially for us Males with our raging Hormones - which are even more trroubling, at your age - etc.; so, like we say in America, "Don't let it (or them) get you down, Man!";) I'm not sure what cultural moores that you choose to - or are expected to - live by; but the Loving Arms of a Woman - be she your Soul Mate, or not - can be of great solice at such a youthful age; though please don't be offended by my Western Decadence for saying so - it's just that we all have to deal with those Hormones, no matter what we believe or think or belive is correct behavior in regards to [I]that[/I] subject. Hang in there, and; if you aren't living as affluent of a lifestyle as you'd like to - or as the others around you - and that makes you feel like a failure; then, instead of dwelling upon that fact, try to focus upon the blessings that you do have - even if they amount to nothing more than having a Smaller Carbon Footprint than that Guy with the Maserati!:yes: [/QUOTE]
