Well, part of it was that I was reading some Buddhist scriptures. Found
them very attractive; recalled Nietzsche's remark that Buddhism is "a
thousand times colder and more mature than Christianity." Then remembered I
have no intention whatever of living that way; refuse to equate desire with
suffering and give up on it; and will not, except in a merely empirical
sense, see myself as part of nature.
