Legends are not particularly forgiving towards women, I've noticed. But I suppose in most cases Houyi and Chang'e lived happily despite their circumstances. And at least the mooncakes are still delicious. Just as long as you're mindful of possible secret messages.

...You have the worse excellent timing, Yang. I'll be sure to have the Jade Rabbit pound your pills thoroughly before giving them to you.

There are many dreadful things but nothing is more dreadful than human beings.                                                               ▬ Sophocles

And nothing has the potential to be more wonderful. It just depends on the situation. I've seen a lot of horrible things in this life. Cruel things that put to question whether we should be so honored to be called civilized. Most of the time I, for one, don't think I deserve the right to such a title. Especially with some of the things I've done in the past. Everyone's guilty of it. Only a handful who view themselves above the muck and grime of human existence deny it.

But every once in a while, I'll do something that makes it not seem so bad. A glimmer of hope, if you will, that shines through all the darkness that makes it ok, at least for a little while.

And it's almost as if I'm human again.

Then some deadbeat tries to put his hands on me in the bar. And I get sent right back to square one. With a bang. But I guess this is what I get for working in security.

Old age and the passage of time teaches us everything.                                         -- Sophocles, fragment
