I think I'm beginning to realise that enlightenment as it were is really as much as a lifestyle change as it is an inner change.
I've began to see that changing internally and externally are together hand in hand (not totally, but I think you know what I'm getting at). For example even though things at school's are winding down I still have to deal with some of that stuff talking with not so nice teachers, listening to boring lectures, ect. Needless to say I wish all of these things would just be over with...but thats not how it always is. As Buddha once said “The greatest prayer is patience”.
Just my two cents.
