Is this the wrong path?
Initially I really wanted to become a monk. But, then I realized that I idealized what a monk was and used the striving to become a monk as an excuse for the somewhat shambly state of my life. I thought strivnig for that made me better than others. It was a phase of life I'm over now. Now in college it seems like im pretty smart and I can work pretty hard. I am striving to be a doctor now, but recently I've figured if I worked really hard in life and gained a lot of money and power I could redistribute it and help everyone around me. So now I want to climb to the top of the "social chain." Sounds pretty stupid but I figured this is my way to contribute to the world
