The long awaited event is finally coming!
As with all things in life, an end is the beginning of another.
And a reminder from today, different people want different things.

Heroes
Taken from David Gemmell "White Wolf"
Heroes and how man think they should be VS what heroes really are.
"The two greatest warriors in the world came together on a quest to save her. They risked their lives. They battled a sorceress and a villain with magic swords. The result ought to be world-changing."
"Ah, yes," she agreed. "I like those romances too. The return of a golden age, the banishment of evil, the little princess who will one day be great."
"Exactly, do any of the futures show this?"
"They show that Elanin will be happy, and will have happy children. Is that not enough?"
"I don't know," admitted Weldi.
"In a few years time Druss the legend will stand on the walls of Dros Delnoch and defy the greatest army the world has ever seen. He will do this to save the Drenai people from slaughter, and keep alive the dreams of civilization. Is this more to your liking?"
"Ah, indeed it is, priestess."
She smiled fondly at him. "And do you think Druss would find that more important than rescuing a child from a place of darkness and horror?"
"I suspose he wouldn't," "Why is that?"
"Let me ask you this," said Ustarte, "if a hero sees a child in danger of drowning, does he need to know the fate of world hangs in the balance before leaping in and trying to rescue it?"
"No," said Weldi, "But if we are playing this game, what if someone told the hero that the child was destined to be evil?"
"A good question. What then would Druss do?"
Weldi laughed suddenly. "He would leap in and save the child."
"And why?"
"Because that is what heroes do."

Greed
Man has stopped progressing
We have enough food and resources for everyone
What we're trying to do is fill the void known as greed
In the end Man will realise that it's a void.

Addictions and life
Why do people fear addictions? Do they really have better things to do in life? Is filling your life with other things more meaningful?
Work? Don't make me laugh.. Nobody will work if they have money.. Unless it's for passion.. How many of us work for passion? Can, will and are working for passion?
Family? No comments that should be heard.. LOL
Life? Live it to the fullest.. When you don't have access to everything? How the hell do you do that? Nobody can experience everything.. Not even the richest kid.. Because he most probably won't get the kick of growing up in crappy places, which in itself is a valuable experience..
So what do we do in modern days? We go out.. and do acceptable things.. Social outings like meals? Movies? Shopping? Com'on man.. It's just that we're so tuned into the system that if we STOP spending money and doing what the person next to you is doing, the whole thing collapses! So much for modern science.. Logic, reason and questioning? LOL, yeah right..
We have nothing to do, and we fill our lives with nothing, and since it's nothing, there's really nothing to complain about.
And I don't want life after death, not because I don't believe in it. I just don't want to see the same shitty people again.

Luck or ability?
Twice, I'm suffering from people who have commitments more important than school.
And here I was thinking I'm a slacker who spends hours and hours on WoW. I see people all around me working their ass off in school and scoring 18,19,20/20 for mcqs when I score 17.
M I just incapable? Because I cannot get them to work and do the thing?
Or m I just unlucky to get these morons?

Sometimes
Sometimes it's because you don't know how to talk.
Sometimes it's because others don't know how to listen.
