    My own mortality. Realising life was so short was quite a depressing thought.

    consciousness of my own existence, this makes me dont accept mortality/disappear..

He exhorts you, so that you may be mindful." Qur'an; 16:90 (this is the verse that is recited every friday in sermons during the Friday Prayer rituals)

    That the best way to live a betrayal free life is to trust no one.
    Alistair Yronwood - Lord of Yronwood, Warden of the Stone Way, Blood Royal

    "Darkness? I was born in it...molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man. By then it was nothing to me but blinding! The shadows betray you because they belong to me!
    "But there must always be a Darth Traya, one that holds the knowledge of betrayal. Who has been betrayed in their heart, and will betray in turn."

    "You clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, I AM the danger! A guy opens his door and gets shot and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks! "

    i am not lying. Seriously i should have been more confident about my intellect (i am still quite modest now actually, that shows you how little confidence i had about my own abilities). My own achievement really showed me. In some way, we should all be more confident. We should not let others tell us that we cant do this or that. Impossible is nothing indeed.

    The world is a lot easier to deal with if you reduce every action everyone makes into kindness, although it takes spinning an argument to another level.

    Adrenaline should be embraced for it will leave you with so much more ..... (so great there is no word for it), and as Alvin N. Joiner once said, 'Just because some one get behind you, don't mean they got your back'.
    Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga
    I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.

    that all humans are hypocrites.

    that most humans can't make sacrifices

    that most humans see themselves superior to everyone else.

    that most humans don't think

    that most humans can't control their emotions

    that 99% of humans care only for themselves

    that there is no such thing as good and evil

    that sometimes to create a greater good you must make a minor evil

    that life is a constant risk and only those who know how to minimize it succeed.

    that humans never learn from their past
    "we're way way pre-alpha and what that means is there is loads of features not just in terms of the graphics but also in terms of the combat and animations that actually aren't in the game yet.So the final game is actually gonna look way way better than this!” - James Russell, CA
    Just like the elephant animation, this Carthage scenario is actually in the game, it just has a small percantage factor for showing up, that's all...

    Beware of scoundrels
