As someone born in eastern EU country. I am well familiar with orthodox, so I really don't see what's good about it. In our countries the priests are one of the most corrupted individuals who are always fat (as opposed to generally skinny population of poor people that can't afford much food) and always drive the nicest cars. How spiritual they are is arguable. They don't pay taxes, still are allowed to have wives and families and their working hours is way less than 40/w. If that's the life you are going for, then being and orthodox priest is the way to go.

I consider it no small blessing that I have a pious priest as my spiritual father. May God bless you in your struggle.

I guess everyone need to get his fix somehow. Some people play the Piano, some use drugs; and some devote themselves to a religion. The difference between the drug cartels and the religious priests is just the clothes. Both can also be very violent.
