Classes so far

I'm really enjoying the history class I'm taking right now, it's turning out to be a lot more interesting than I expected.

However, I'm not doing so well with my class on Buddhism. I am just not connecting. I'm really having problems with understanding a philosophy that is based on destroying desire, cravings and passion. My life is driven by passion. There is great pain, but there is also great joy. Going through life numb is just not something I can do.

But that's what Buddhism is about. Achieving nirvana, the end of personal existence.
