Community Game: I begin a story and you write the rest! :D
A man had serious relationship problems with his mother. She was always criticizing him, putting him down. So he started meditating until one day he discovers an inner master. He was a kind master, always showering him with praises and compliments. "Look at you you're so kind", "Who cares if people mistreats you, you have me!", "You're great! Bow to no one!". His mother would call him to help her with some chore, and he thought "Who cares about her, she's always so demanding and never gives anything back... I'll stay with my master". His friends would tell him "You're always so absent minded, didn't you see this perspective?" and he would reply "I have found the master, did you find it?" and the friends would look at him as if he was crazy. So he started drifting apart from society... Thinking that nobody was worth his attention, that only the kindness of the Master had any value in his life. He had always to put a mask on before speaking with somebody, to hide that uncomfortable sense of not being able to reach them truly... So he drifted and drifted, at any requests life gave him he'd take refuge in this master, trusting that at one point he'd be brought to some form of happiness. How does the story continue? :D
