The Cow

Long story short, cows are wonderful. They provide for humans for their entire lifetime, including in death. The cow represents nature and selflessness. Ideally, a "Society forces us to be cows, to create value by producing milk, and giving that milk not just to our calf but to others as well."

Avatars of Vishnu

Rama was an avatar of Vishnu that was covered in the reading of the Ramayana. Rama was involved in the world and focused on upholding the rules of Vishnu, called dharma.

Unlike these two avatars, Balarama stepped away from the world discontent with the rules in place.

When the World Changes Day 0: Do you ever get the feeling that something is off? Or have the feeling that you are being watched?

I am scared, and I am ready to put an end to this. Day 1: Yesterday I went to Best Buy
