Orn I asked a simple question once in a private email. Do you remember your answer? I do.. I was not impressed.
If you reach the pinnacle of enlightenment. You have but one choice Orn that is walk the path of life or jump of the pinnacle to climb again. or simply to live life. Some how that answer will not satisfy you. Well each person must follow their own path to enlightenment actually that is not hard. recognizing it is nor difficult, many people just simply miss it. What do you see as what leads away from enlightenment? Well the next question I think you missed it, I did share some of it. As for culture.. I am basically Caucasian.. what else do you want to know..
