I lied to my friends

When I used to be kind of in this Buddhist cult, we would say a prayer that goes like:

"For the first time I'm glad about the Buddha, for the first time I'm glad about the Dharma, for the first time, I'm glad about the Sangha. For the second time, I'm glad about the Buddha, for the second time..." etc.

Anyway. I'm glad about the Sangha. Which is "the community." In the cult, this meant all the other cult people. Really, though, I need help. Life is too hard to navigate and to map and signpost and to travel down the road of. And I can't do it by myself. That's the real reason I wanted to meet you guys for dinner and talk about what we're going to do.

For the millionth time, I'm glad about the Sangha.
