Faith or Compulsion- What inspires to be ordained as monk?

Have you ever heard the stories of why someone ordained as monk or nun? Yes, dark stories of their life without reach to privileged life. Else it is a gem like rare to know someone who heartfully accepts this type of simple life forms ( Let me be careful with my words—I'm not  accusing every one). Its disheartening to see how the bhutanese selfishly improvises with the nations paramounts to meet their personal needs. Claim it to be a  worrisome or besmirching situation to have nations ethics and values at the brink of extinction but I can undoubtedly claim that religion is on “WANE" now. The real issue is not about someone choosing to get robed for their helpless situation but how easily they take the matter on their shoulder.

First Blog.

This is my first write up in my blogging page and I couldn't find a better way to start by throwing some light into what I'm actually going to blog about(just a jist).  Blogging is not my passion as it seems to be yet my interest in jotting down the articulation of my thoughts and mind couldn't have been served better than being in this form.

Atleast I'm going to learn now...“Better late than never” For me philosophical genres(mostly about religions) never failed to fascinate me.
