A person's life is always inextricably linked with many people, things and things, whether deep or shallow. What should be met is always met, saying that it is predestined friends with Buddha. In fact, you don't have to convert to Buddhism, just listen to Buddhism occasionally. Perhaps, you can have an experience that others don't have? This is not a fate.
Don't cling to what others say, everything in the world is just idealism.
