White male. Coastal South Carolina. 20s. Follows Buddhist philosophy because it has a broad view and is based on philosophy and not religion. Wants to just do right by people, no matter what he does or how he gets there. Believes the Universe is bigger than him, but doesn't believe it cares the details of what he does. Believes his karmic duty is to be good to people. His grandfather beat stomach cancer, but died of lung cancer, but he always had a positive attitude. If you're a good person, and put out kindness and gratitude, people will do right by you.
