What waits for you, back where you came from?

You can be as specific or nonspecific as you like, really. A person, a place, a thing, a concept, a task. A belief. A dream.

Nothing.

I'm just curious, I guess.

Also, for those who don't wish to give out even vaguely personal information to unknown strangers in an unknown place: how many of you are from pre-spaceflight planets?

Everything I want to keep is more or less people, who can die, or ideas, which can be repressed. Anything else is replaceable.

Never lived a life with a lot of stuff.

Then you're halfway there! But people count. It'd be too easy, otherwise.

Maybe I'll try that in the next lifetime.

[existentialcrisis]

That's the idea. Exist, inevitably fail, die, try again.

If you don't mind my asking, how did you come to be a monk?

[existentialcrisis]

By accident. I thought it was going to be much more fun.

[ Cassian has to laugh aloud at that answer. ] I guess that's one way to go about it.
