(Mis) Information Resentment

May 22 cont...

I was feeling really frustrated, short tempered, melancholic and by now, out of the Henro loop.


What was I doing?

I worked out that this return saga was going to cost me $1,000 NZD with travel, accommodation, stamps and the eventual framing of the scroll.

I kept feeling unfairly bitter towards Hiroki San, my (misleading) information centre at Koya San, but I knew there was a high chance I might not have bought one then anyway, remembering how money aware I was at the time. But I would have liked to know my options and had the choice.
I also knew it wasn’t Hiroki San’s fault either. How could she know if she had never done it herself? And she was absolute kindness and generosity and would be devastated if she knew she hadn’t given correct information.

It would be doing myself a notsosmall favour if I got over it...
