The good news is that you might abandon your family for a period but they don't abandon you and many premies were sensible enough not to do that either. The satsang hall was always pretty empty at Christmas.You tell 'em, Paddy, the dumb asses! I'm sure glad I was one of the sensible ones who only aboandoned my family for one year and one Xmas! How 'bout those jag-offs who spent years and years never going home for Xmas? What idiots, eh? You'd think they'd had a lot more sense than that, wouldn't you? After all, it wasn't all that ominous. Anyone with sense went home for Xmas except, of course those senseless ashram idiots who were only power tripping anyway, roight broight?
