Why did you decide to become a monk

The only boy born in a temple. Naturally, he became the chief priest in the form of a hereditary monk, but probably because he liked people, or more specifically, he liked objectively looking at people since he was young!?
From there, it seems that I learned the skill of “listening” to listen silently without refuting people's conversations.
And maybe they arrived at this place Hasunoha.
The fact that I had several opportunities to listen to people confiding the pain of life and death in real places was also a reason why I became keenly aware that I was a monk.
I hope to be able to face people's suffering and somehow convey a way of life with a smile from within Buddhism!
However, the downside is that they are not good at deep relationships due to their personality that objectively views people ('`:)

In my case, my house was certainly a temple, and I was the eldest son, but it seems that when I was in middle school, I told my friends that I didn't want to take over the temple. (Although I don't remember it.)
However, a turning point came when I was in high school. I didn't like going to a local high school, so I got permission from my parents and went on to a high school outside of the prefecture, and also a Catholic school. Among them, there was time for religion, and the first graders listened to stories from the Bible, and in the second grade, the class was divided into 2 parts to discuss life, social issues, etc. with a small number of people. In such an environment, I myself began to feel that being born as the eldest son of a temple was something fateful, and when I was in high school, I read new books about Buddhism, and when it came to college, I aspired to go on to a religious university.
However, there are few parishioners at my temple, and successive chief priests have had side jobs, so my father and grandfather were teachers (at elementary school) as side jobs, so I also aimed to become teachers, and now, beside high school teachers, I am also the chief priest.
I don't know where or when the turning point in my life will come. Perhaps a further turning point in your life awaits you in the future. No one knows that, and I think it is up to each of us to discover it. That's why I think “living” is a wonderful thing. Also, in order to convey this to people in various environments, I have registered as an answer monk for this hasunoha. Hasunoha's answer As a monk, one year has finally passed. I would like to continue to respond in good faith to those that I can find time to respond to. We look forward to your continued support.

It's not like my house is a temple, but... it just happened before I knew it ('・ω・`)

Actually, it's the result of various elements being intertwined, but it just happened ('・ω・`)

※3/8 update
I'm going to get a job as a new graduate
There are so many things that they run away
I'm going to do it as a freelancer
Why don't you go over there for a minute? It's being said
I didn't mean to be the first monk, but I think it would be the same again if I ran away on a different path here...
I have reached the present while fighting against the mess in my heart and struggling

By the way, when I was a student, I hated getting involved with people or talking, and I only read short stories because I wanted them to be left alone the whole time
I'm that type of person who doesn't know why or what happens to people other than myself, and I'm glad they spent their time appropriately somewhere in a different space from myself.

I wonder why it's like this now, I like talking now, but I'm not good at speaking

I wonder if this is the kind of strange relationship

I have inherited a relative's temple.
I got a profit after getting rid of my job about 20 years ago.
Look at the temple I was in a relationship with at work at the time,
I felt that the monk was nice.

Also, on television back then,
A certain monk was showing off his money, so
One reason is that I misunderstood “maybe it's a reverse ball...”

It's like mid-career recruitment, so
I have a shorter history as a monk than other monks,
I feel that my experience as a salaryman was a good training.
