The Burden

From Samyutta Nikaya:

The five groups are the heavy load,
The seizing of the load is man.
Holding it is misery,
Laying down the load is bliss.
Laying down this heavy load,
And no other taking up,
By uprooting all desire,
Hunger’s stilled, Nibbaana’s gained.

Derek Miles Verrilli was born on June twentieth nineteen hundred eighty-one at Lawerence Hospital in Bronxville New York. He received a relatively normal childhood and explored alienation at a young age. While developing resentment towards his peers he found solace in video games, music and art. Living mostly in fantasy it wasn't until he reached his early twenties that he decided to create a relationship with reality. Having realized the anguish and rejection he felt in his formative years was sorely magnified internally, he is now putting effort into working on his own mind. This blog is one of many attempts at communicating his erratic mental processes and to share some mundane experiences, which he finds beautiful.
