[QUOTE="xenoflare, post: 1605164, member: 12431"] [b]goodbye, and have fun now. -wave-[/b] Goodbye now Angelsboi, i've never talked to you before, but i've read your posts and your lj at times. I feel that you're a brave, brave man. Enjoy the cosmic dance now... let your feathers bring some joy to this listless, strife-filled world of us mortals sometime, won't you? When i head to the video game arcade and see Rock Howard in the Mark of the Wolves, i'll remember your signature avatar. As Tizoc would say, "Let Your Fighting Spirit Shine! Let your rage burn red, kid!" For the rest of us here at Enworld - i found this old story about friendship and death from the Taoist philosopher, Zhuang Zi. Just would like to share, somehow it seems pertinent... we are all nameless friends who have no explanation why we are friends, and thus better friends for it. Let us be united now, and be heartened that despite our inability to express this in words, to express life and death... ... we have been friends, and will be friends, marked by this touchstone. This is the first feather of Angelsboi to descend for us from the heavens, and surely not the last... Rest in peace, dance in joy shao ** 3 Friends, by Zhuang Zi There were three friends Discussing life. One said: "Can we live together and know nothing of it? Work together and produce nothing? Can people fly around in space and still forget to exist In this world without end?" The three friends looked at each other and burst out laughing. They had no explanation. Thus they were better friends than before. Then one friend died. Confucius sent a disciple to help the other two Chant according to the traditional funeral ritual. The disciple found upon arrival that one of them had composed a song. While the other played the lute, They sang: "Hey, Sung Hu! Where'd you go? You have gone Where you were before. And we are here-- Damn it! We are here!" Then the disciple of Confucius burst in upon them and exclaimed: "May I inquire where does it state in the funeral rituals, That you are allowed to sing so irreverently In the presence of the departed?" The two friends looked at each other, smiled, and said: "He's well-trained in liturgy, but the poor fellow doesn't understand life and death!" ** [/QUOTE]
