The Dalai Lama is a wise man, but I have no interest in religion. The fact is, after the first two years, since I was 15, I got ZERO support. And compassion? None. No-one understands the internal pain of 40 years of living in a fog. Failing at school, failing at jobs, failing at life in general and being treated like a moron by all the 'normal' people has left me jaded and very angry. From my original post, most of what I said was tongue in cheek... But when I said compassion escapes me, I really meant that I don't get it, its beyond me...
