    Two hours later … ‘rent’s due again’ … ‘can we figure out another way to pay it?’ … ‘that worked when you were younger, you’re now a 40 year old housewife with two children, and you’ve let yourself go these past few rounds’ … ‘isn’t there another way’ … ‘OK, fine, I’ll take one child to work as a slave at one of my railroads’

    Been to Thailand a couple of times and I always thought Buddhist monks were holy lifelong devotees that never did any wrong. Turns out that there is parts of the country where reformed prisoners have the option to join a monastery as a monk to serve their sentence. So in many places, those tough looking monks you see are actually gang members and criminals serving out a sentence … some of them are honestly reformed, some are working on it, and some are just gaming the system.
