Buddha teaches us to choose our company carefully, that a solitary existence is preferable to be accompanied by fools. He writes, in the Dhammapada, "It is better to live alone, there is no companionship with a fool; let a man walk alone, let him commit no sin, with few wishes, like an elephant in the forest." Luckily, I am not Buddhist, but I understand the ideal. Complications will be the death of a man, or at least the death of a man's worthwile existence on this planet. But, I like complication. I like material things,anime, and good food. I suppose I'm willing to work in order to get them, thus more or less cutting myself off from any form of spiritual enlightenment, all of which seem to ask us to deny the physical for the metaphysical.
