...

The fool who knows he is a fool is that much wiser.

And the awesome man who knows he's awesome is that much more awesome!

[nirvananation]

I think you are misunderstanding the words, ana.

[armywithcountry]

I'm not misunderstanding anything, I'm just making it better!

[Totally does not get it. This is why he shouldn't talk to Asian countries.]

[nirvananation]

It does not need to be made better, Kuhn Prussia. The saying is perfect just as it is.

[lotuslife]

Are you asking us to interpret this?

[nirvananation]

Ah...no. Though, you may if you wish.

[lotuslife]

True self-awareness is a near-impossible thing to achieve.

;;;;; he's so cute even when beat up.

[nirvananation]

That does not mean you shouldn't try, ana.

[wolf_faerie]

Call no man a wise man until the worms have done him in!

[nirvananation]

But if he has let the worms do him in, how do you know he is wise?

[wolf_faerie]

Because nobody's really wise until he's lived a full life.

[nirvananation]

Ah, but what if the man has lived a thousand lifetimes?

[katto_katto]

But he is still a fool.

[nirvananation]

Not as foolish as those who think themselves wise, ana.

[katto_katto]

But they are still not wise, either of them.

[nirvananation]

Yes, but one of them is a step closer to becoming wise, isn't he.

((Oh god, thinking buddies adhlkjasdf.))

Y' he'rd ab'ut a m'n's be'rd?

[nirvananation]

I have not, ana.

[ominousjoy]

Ah.. m' think.

((He takes a breath.))

"Wisd'm is in th' he'd, n't th' beard."

((A short laugh: 'hmh'.))

Oh my god he's so cute lksdjflk hrrrrnnn

[nirvananation]

I see. Hm...What do you think, ana? Is it the spirit, or the body that becomes wise?
