You say that you must choose enlightenment or Dhuka (that is the translation of suffering isn't it) but how can you not have both, my nan was happily married untill the day she died, and besides a brief spell of hurt everyone new to celebrate her life not mourn her death.

I tottaly agree with you that the mind suffers allot by not knowing your choice but im 21, i didnt grow up in a monastry and so how do i know that after declaring myself a lay monk so to speak that i dont find someone who encompasses my souls desires, desires that i believe no one can get rid of as there not there untill you meet the one. For example right now i do not desire anyything but tomorow a girl drop her keys while im walking behind her and i meet her eyes as i pass them back how can i tell my heart no.....i mean 21 is a young age to say i dont want to have a family, does this make sense.
