This is sterile. If he really did this He would show why his knees hurt in descriptive words. No true human being especially an opposite of this so-called stereo type complaint would forget this part of pain.

Why would he be in pain??? If I was to do something as foolish as that, I'd wear knee pads...

He writes it like he read it out of a tract. He rings hollow. If he knows it is now a waste why not show the silly nonsense involved like the knee pad bit you brought up if true.

I have been reading all different view in books all my life. In My Humble opinion his true heart of the life presented is absent. It reads wrong with the no humanity(true to life what he is suppose to experience) in it. My mother was a private writer but occasionally a small article in a small magazine. When she wrote it was really from the heart. You knew it was true. A writer about own experiences conveys this personal truth. Where a writer screws up is when he tries to convey something outside their own lives. This article is classic feel of this manner.

Also remember He claims to be a priest. Everyday the priest does a homily at daily mass. Most priests if you read there writings are good. This Priest(?) does not show the proper characterization of a priest happenings thru his story.He writes like a zombie. No real everday life add-ons to make it true sounding or like a real truth. Remember do not fall in love with the story because of the scripture. He did not write that of course but zoom in on his pure writings from experience. They fail in genuine feel of living the life. That's all.
