Would you like to live as a buddhist monk? I think i'd like

[Marinus]

Nope.

I had a similar fantasy about living a secluded life in the countryside, but after visiting relatives in their farm and actually experiencing that type of life I realised that the fantasy never really took into consideration the negatives of such a life. I've been spoiled by accessibility to the city for too long.

It is not like i really want it, i just think it would be good because i like Buddhism, its is very important to me because it helps to live in the present and it also helps me to deal more positive with my difficulties in life. And yes, i agree with you, we should also look at the negative sides of what we want. So maybe when i get old i will think more about it.

Also, i live in a city that can be called as countryside( even tought it is not a very small city) and i like this more calm life, so i think i would really like to be like a monk but i am still young and new to Buddhism and i really need some time to think better about it, so maybe when i get older, i will try.

Perhaps, it's just that I have not yet grown to this mentally.

Yes, we need some time to think, because it is not a very simple decision

First we must completely be disappointed in life and in people to make such a decision.

The small town type of setting is my favourite place to live, just enough amenities and usually just tranquil enough to live in peace. If it wasn't for certain familial reasons I wouldn't think twice about moving to some quiet town.

Buddhism is a beautiful set of ideas, from what I gathered anyway, I'm very ignorant on the subject but it's something that peaks my interest. I hope your journey with Buddhism is a rewarding one!

Why? I don't think so

Thanks. I also wish you can adapt and be happy in the city you live Or maybe you can find a better place, who knows...

Yes. I would try it for some time. Like 1 year.
