A MAN LIKE HIM (12)

“What was Christians appeal to Ana?”

“Because he was rich.”

“Of course not. It was because he was a rabid animal.”

“Most men are rabid animals.”

“No they’re not. Most men are disgusting pigs and inconsiderate lovers. What kind of lover was Christian? Thoughtful? Planning? His S&M was slow and methodical. Want to talk about foreplay, a common gripe amongst women. Who was Christian Grey? In essence, a control freak. But Ana saw glimpses of something else when he wasn’t in control. And who was able to draw that out of him?”

“Ana?”

“Right, Ana. And what does the Buddha teach us?”

“That to get rid of intense cravings because that what keeps you condemned to live repeated lives on this plane. Your cravings for the things of this world.”

“Right! And it prevents you from doing what?”

“Reaching Nirvana.”

“So when you let go of your cravings for the things down here you’ll reach Nirvana, Correct?”

“That’s right.” “Now what about Star Wars, the first one, did you see that?”

“Yeah, what about it?”

“Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader’s fight scene”

“Yeah, Obi-Wan gave up.”

“Obi didn’t give up, or did he let go?”

“He let go.”

“He submitted?”

“Yeah.”

“And was there a power shift in the force because of it?”

“Yeah.”

“On whose side?”

“Obi.”

“Jesus was cleaning the feet of a street woman and his disciples were appalled. What did they say to him?”

“They were wondering what was he doing it for.”

“And his reply?”

“Something about the master being the servant.”

“Was Obi One Kenobi a master?”

“He was.”

“Mother Teresa, whose name will ring throughout the centuries when the billionaires will be forgotten. You see Ana laughed at Christian; he wasn’t in control, she was. He went from man-man, to man-animal. She debased him.”

“You’re into all that stuff that Christian was into, how come none of them Subs gotten to you?”

“You see, I have no disillusions about myself. I am the wolf.”
