I’d thought, in June when I get to the top…and everybody leaves…I will come face to face with God or Tathagata and find out once and for all what is the meaning of all this existence and suffering…but instead I’d come face to face with myself, no liquor, no drugs, no chance of faking it, but face to face with ole Hateful…Me

Convince an adult stranger that you are worth a healthy slice of their limited time and energy without the prize of sex or romance.
