A nun

I just saw a documentary about a woman, 19 years old, who chose to join a monastery. One of those strict ones where you only are allowed to speak two hours a day.

First of all, she came from a family with nine kids. The parents were super-religious having their own chapel in the garden. And the Mum saying "I would be so proud if all my kids were to become priests or nuns". Hello, how sick is not that? I mean, if you want that why didn't you become a nun yourself?

Second, the poor brainwashed woman who chose to live with "god", wanted to help the world. She had seen that there were so much bad going on, and so many people being hurt, that she didn't know where to start. So she chose not to help anyone at all.

In the monastery there is no television, no internet, no radio, no communication with the outside world except for a few times a year when she's allowed to meet her family through a grid. Like in a prison. So how can she help people? She has no idea what's going on in the world, she has chosen not to participate, not to take any decisions, not to be a part of anything that's going on. Through prayer?

HAHAHAHAHA! Munks and nuns, you are losers. You help nobody except yourselves.

oh dear, you are really not a fan of religious types are you?

Still, I have to agree, at least when it comes to these super conservative strict orders. although I might not go so far as to call them losers, they certainly seem to have a warped idea of how the world works and the 'good' they do. Although many less conservative orders, who interact with the community, do do a lot of good I'm sure - at least the ones who brew beer.

and just so you don't get worried that something is wrong in the world when I am agreeing with you too much its Monks, not Munks (unless you're talking about chipmunks that is);)
