Again, from Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai, by Yamamoto Tsunetomo

It is better to live doing the things that you like. It is foolish to live whithin this dream of a world seeing unpleasantness and doing only things that you do not like. But it is important never to tell this to young people as it is something that would be harmful if incorrectly understood.

It seems that you've gone all Eastern Philosophy just as I started reading Erik van Lustbader books, spooky.

I decided it was time to remind myself of a few things, and I dug out my copies of Hagakure, The Art of War and the Shogun Scrolls.

Just watched Ghost Dog - the way of the samurai.
A man needs no more reminding.

I like the idea of only doing things I like...

Pity the world doesn't seem to agree with me. Dang that world.
