Is Buddhism the ultimate philosophy?
Will relinquishing desire make me happy with my solitude? I don't want to have sex, or feel the need to get drunk with people I don't relate to. But it's the primitive reptilian urge that keeps telling me to do it.
And I can't get it because I'm a loser. There, I said it. But it doesn't matter if I'm comfortable with that, so how can I truly become like that?

My wife's father is a Buddhist priest who runs a temple but he has quite a temper and is always spending profligately at department stores.

A monk said to Chao Chou, “I have just entered this monastery. Please teach me.”
Chao Chou said, “Have you eaten your rice gruel?”
The monk said, “Yes, I have.”
Chao Chou said, “Wash your bowl.”
The monk understood.
If you're interested in Buddhism, simply begin your practice. right now. begin to read about Buddhism. if you have access to a temple, why not visit? if you don't, start with the story of the Buddha. Read about his life, his career as a teacher, and his death.
Branch out and research different schools of Buddhism. See if anything appeals to you.
