"the more we push them away, the more aggressively they come back" - I wonder what he's running away from, and whether he needs to run away from it at all. Mindfulness isn't about pushing things away, but about being present and accepting thoughts as cloud. Also, human nature has needs that are natural and expected.
For the father trying to be a monk, that's a tough one because if he has no kids, it'd be easy, but those kids did not ask to be born. They deserve the love and support of a father. Even Buddha went from home life to homelessness, but that still doesn't negate the missing needs of the children.
Watching at the beginning, I think you have found a place in it, meaning you love the work, from farming, to cleaning, to nature and observing .. I think it has made a master out of you!! ; ) seriously the same stuff that I learn from my brother , the discipline part , I think you have discovered that.. the other part is human, people, you can get along with someone one minute and the next they back to their nature and you back to yours, like me I’m very lazy and relax ^ ^ so if you are with me and you are not like that you will be stirred up!! ^ ^ the other part is nature and the zen part .. which is “you,” I cannot find it ,, I’m always attached to melancholy, sadness in some ways.. if I do observe nature and find things .
