'There are stories all around you, even in dark, secluded places. Share your stories, mark the places where they were born. No greater gift can you give to one another.' - Hermes
Indeed, Wisdom is a wonderful boon and blessed is he who receives it. However, what happens when instead the gift is rejected? When pride, born of ignorance, has filled the heart, leaving no capacity for Wisdom?
As pearls are to pigs, the gift will become.
Woe to thee, who has eyes but do not see, ears but do not listen, and mouth but speak of no wisdom; for wisdom was never a part of thee.

Kids
In life, one will have experience with many many kids. From the day you are born, you are a kid. You think that the whole world revolves around you and for a lot of kids, they still behave that way even though they are already receiving supposedly tertiary education.
I was a kid once myself and I know how maturity comes with age and how wisdom comes with maturity when I see all the people around me, who were once kids, grow up and we share thoughts on difficult issues and discuss problems that kids might not even know they existed.
However, while it's ok being a kid, it becomes bullshit when a kid still thinks that he/she is right when facts are proving the contrary or that, with experience, it can be foreseen that some trouble is brewing and ready to show itself once the time is ripe. It then becomes frustrating and shitty trying to convince the kid that he/she is wrong.
A typical cycle with a kid would be "the kid makes some shitty decision or does some shitty stuff -> you intervene and try to share your experience and tells the kid that it's not too late to make changes -> the kid ignores you and thinks you are F**ked up just because you tell him/her that he/she is wrong -> some kind of trouble comes knocking at the door and when one examines the probem, it can be seen that it's all because of the kid's incompetence and ignorance that the trouble was created -> it proves that what you say and foresaw is right but the kid was too ignorant and immature to listen to you"
One cycle of shit is enough to kill, and after many many many cycles of this shit, ZION has decided that he is not going to be bothered about kids anymore. Since the kids are too ignorant to accept the wisdom that ZION had so wanted to share, then ZION will not share any of his wisdom with them anymore. They can go eat their own shit and die for all ZION cares.
After looking through my past blog entries, I have also found out that kids also did quite a few silly things including spamming on my blog, copying my blog content and publishing it on their own blogs without permission and instigating their associates to spam on my blog. I have even received threats that I will be sued or charged in court.
Well for those of you who like to use the law as a form of threat, assuming that you do have knowledge of the law, let me tell you that by copying my blog content and publishing it on your own blog without my permission is already an infringement of copyright and I can sue you for that. If you think that you can use the law like a cane and wave it in front of me thinking that I will be afraid of you, you are wrong. Many of what has been said and published actually already made you liable and I could have sued if I wanted to.
Let me tell you that the reason you did not receive any letter from my lawyer is because, to me, you are not at all worth my time and effort and money suing, not that I'm afraid of you. For those who are still ignorant and still think that the law is like a cane that you can use to wave around, you better think twice and know what the cane can do, lest you hit yourself with it.

The Chronicles of NarHia: The Tiger, the Bitch and the Middle Finger
Once upon a time, there was a mystical place known as 'NarHia'. In this place, lived many different kinds of animals. From The Egoistic, Ferocious Tiger to the obnoxious, egocentric Bitch - this land was filled with surprises of many different kinds, including stupid ones.
One day, the animals decided that they want to have a chalet. All seemed to be agreeable, other than Tiger and Snake. The Snake, being the main character of the previous chalet's 'The Saga of the Cat', was forced to, in what humans call it, 'Say sorry to a cat'. (Imagine a human being made to say 'sorry' to a cat by another human being, like wtf??!!??.....anyway...interested parties can feel free to approach 'ZION The Storyteller'...I'm sure he would very much like to share the wonderful story)
One day, Tiger was drawn to this particular notice about the chalet. It looked like the organiser of the chalet was concerned about the mutil-racial and multi-religious nature of 'NarHia' and had decided to, hopefully, make some accomodations to the different animals.
Part of the notice went something like this:
'For those who are buddhists, do you guys eat beef? If not we can make some aggranements.'
Looking at this, Tiger decided to make a clarification with the organiser. Tiger proceeded to reply to the notice saying:
'Buddhists don't eat meat. Only Taoists pratise abstinence from eating beef.'
Bitch, receiving the reply too when Tiger had purposely 'Reply All' to that notice, did not seem to be quite satisfied with Tiger's reply and gave Tiger her reply that went like this:
'just to correct u on ur thoughts. i m a buddhist and there are many buddhists who choose not to take beef. Buddhists have the choice to be vegetarians or just abstain from beef. Taoists have no such restrictions. pls get these right, thanks.'
Author's note:
Some people, like Bitch, like to think that they know a lot. When Tiger decided to confront them, Bitch was quick to jump into a pool of shit trying to put up a fight with Tiger. Bitch thought that she really was able and fit to 'correct Tiger on his thoughts'.
One of the five precepts of Buddhist teachings is 'Do not kill'.
It was said that one must not deliberately kill any living creatures, either by committing the act oneself, instructing others to kill, or approving of or participating in act of killing. It is a respect to others' lives. One should not deprive others (animals included) of the right to live.
According to this, consumption of meat likely falls into the category of approving the killing of animals. So, do buddhists really have a choice to just abstain from beef, or was that just a choice that Bitch thought she could have?
On the other hand, Taoists abstain from beef and have many guidelines regarding their diet. They have many festivals and practices that include the 7th month and burning of joss sticks and joss paper.
Bitch should have gotten her facts right before confronting Tiger with her bullshit. Just because 'i m a buddhist' doesn't mean that what you think is true. Practice doesn't make perfect, practicing the right thing does. You should have known better than to challenge Tiger and to 'just to correct u on ur thoughts'.
Tiger says 'correct ki lan' and as what ZION says...Do you know what ..l.. means?...
F**K YOU UNDERSTAND!
