That was not my experience at all. In fact, I saw many overly devoted folks, who adored sitting still, feel most angry when they decided the TMO was not for them. I admired their honesty. Personally, I was devoted but did not buy into all the things 100%. I kept my own sense of right and wrong because of the way I was built, I guess. I felt less loyal and committed, but knew I could never give up my own values. I spoke up a bit, but then got sucked into making a living and all the TMO stuff seemed far away.That made it easier to stay in, but is, I feel, less honest. Just a different role to play. > > And now hey are bitter ? For what, because their restless nature has been > cruel to them ?
