Question

When you feel lost, when you do not even know which way you want to walk, when you have lost faith in the things that once sustained you, when the simple joy of just being alive has been left behind and you do not really know when or how or why...

What should you do, besides keep searching, try to gain clarity, and be patient?

Alabastro

Master Kosen’s answer

The truth is that you alone created this situation. If you had trustingly followed the guidance you were given, the situation could have been very favorable for you. You destroyed your own chance and lost your friends' trust. You have to rebuild everything and avoid making the same mistake again in the future.
