 * Fort Aspenwood remains the most fun arena as of late (despite leechers), I guess the rest got boring a long time ago with so few skill changes.


 * Trifles put aside, I love cool stuff. Whether from books, movies, music or any other sources.

= = "You are said to be wise in these matters, Yama," said the one who had been called Rild and Sugata. "You are said to be a god, whose kingdom is death and whose knowledge extends beyond the ken of mortals. I would question you, therefore, while we are standing idle."

Yama did not smile his mocking smile, as he had to all his opponent's previous statements. This one had a touch of ritual about it.

"What is it that you wish to know? I grant you the death-boon of a question."

Then, in the ancient words of the Katha Upanishad, the one who had been called Rild and Sugata chanted:

"'There is doubt concerning a man when he is dead. Some say he still exists. Others say he does not. This thing I should like to know, taught by you.' "

Yama replied with the ancient words, "'On this subject even the gods have their doubts. It is not easy to understand, for the nature of the atman is a subtle thing. Ask me another question. Release me from this boon!'"

"'Forgive me if it is foremost in my mind, oh Death, but another teacher such as yourself cannot be found, and surely there is no other boon which I crave more at this moment.'"

"'Keep your life and go your way,'" said Yama, plunging his blade again into his sash. "'I release you from your doom. Choose sons and grandsons; choose elephants, horses, herds of cattle and gold. Choose any other boon - fair maidens, chariots, musical instruments. I shall give them unto you and they shall wait upon you. But ask me not of death.'"

"'Oh Death,' " sang the other, "'these endure only till tomorrow. Keep your maidens, horses, dances and songs for yourself. No boon will I accept but the one which I have asked - tell me, oh Death, of that which lies beyond life, of which men and the gods have their doubts.'"

Fools dwelling in darkness, wise in their own conceit, and puffed up with vain knowledge, go round in circles, like blind men led by the blind.

The Hereafter never rises before the eyes of the careless child, deluded by the delusion of wealth. "This is the world," he thinks,"there is no other"; thus he falls again and again under my sway.
