The curse of having to be something you're not.

ryushi I think you should walk your own personal path, going back and forth here and there on a road that leads somewhere. Maybe you should try buckwheat noodle making, or bonsai, or guitar. There's a lot to learn and a lot of fun to be had just by joining a community.

ryushi I believe that you have to be someone is just a misconception, a kind of curse. Just being able to recognize someone who is superior in some area as superior enriches your life.
