Gautama Buddha
Gautama Buddha, popularly known as the Buddha (also known as Siddhattha Gotama or Siddhārtha Gautama[note 3] or Shakyamuni), was an ascetic, a religious leader and teacher who lived in ancient India (c. 6th to 5th century BCE or c. 5th to 4th century BCE).[6][7][8][note 4] He is regarded as the founder of the world religion of Buddhism, and revered by Buddhists as an enlightened being,[9] who rediscovered an ancient path to freedom from ignorance, craving and the cycle of rebirth and suffering. He taught for around 45 years and built a large following, both monastic and lay.[10] His teaching is based on his insight into the arising of suffering or dissatisfaction and its ending—the state called Nirvana (lit. vanishing or extinguishing).

The Inheritance
I had become somewhat depressed, spending a great deal of time alone, trying to control the crazy thoughts in my head. Tormenting questions trashed through my mind even outweighing the thunderous bombardment of space debris which clashed against the metal capsule I called home. These thoughts were colossal mysteries, mostly regarding my biological family and my planet of origin. Struggling day after day to assimilate a glimpse into my heritage, I had practically shredded the quart-sized zippered bag which held the entirety of my personal possessions. My family’s planet could only be seen from a ‘bird’s eye view’; a bird’s eye view multiplied by two million or so. I’m sure that distance seems like an unfathomable separation, an unconquerable divide to non-space travelers, and for me it was definitely a long distance away from my reality.

Open Letter to Missionaries
Open letter to the Lady who tried to share her 'good news' with me today while I was looking terrible and slightly desperate in the extreme weather on my walk home. I understand you thought you where being nice but what you where doing was in fact abusive and dangerous.
