    It seems @kaguana‌ is a source of wisdom herself:

    (from the other thread): "If one don't pay attention to the little thing the big thing can and will get messy".

    and "If you want something done right, do it yourself".

    @bengoshi‌ Thank you I just said what I think is right to say in my eyes. :)

    And as for more word of wisdom:

    Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.

    Life isn’t about what happens to us. It’s about how we perceive what happens to us.

    "Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." - John Wooden

    This thread seriousness level is highly variable... I wouldn't be surprised if we get a streak of mad and silly words of wisdom soon :)

    "The ordinary is the cause of a happening that is left unattended."

    Shal smiled.

    "And the common is the enemy for all who look beyond."
    "Shal , you once asked me about intelligence , and this is what I've found."

    Name , smiling , kept his silence while staring at Shal. Shal did not
    understand at first , but when he realized that Name is not going to talk
    more , he got it.

    "I understand. Intelligence is to understand the silence , and you said it with your silence."

    "Better silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and have it confirmed."

    ....

    About 2,000 of my comments are at odds with that.

    "The rise of clear thoughts , the waiting of endure , most uncatchable past , make the starting power of a shining day. A wish to say
    the truth , with a vengeance against own silence , fails to escape the most uncontrollable beast. This is the price beast pays time ,
    so in one shout , all windows will be ripped clean , and no one can escape the sun , and no blanket will shield the ignorance within , no fingers
    will armor the obvious , and no pillow will save them from the fear of life."

    Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.

    Happiness lies ahead for those who cry; those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

    Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.

    "Kaguana is some sort of an iguana , no ?" Last words of an adventurer ( I'm writing this to test if you are reading or just binge posting :) )

  • kaguanakaguana Member Posts: 1,328
    The meaning of my name is moon and yeah everyone have dark and light sides, but no one see the whole persons personality sides just a bit of what the whole person is, like the moon you don't it is full every night just one night a month but in the others you only see part of her (moon is a she :P )

    @kaguana Adressing myself on the other post I have written under "What age/gender you are" , this post is enough evidence proving you are woman with a writing. No male could have ever written a psychological/emotional complexity in one breath , this mixed up, trying to prove anything with anything :)

    Well , that is what Mr. Twain thinks not me.

    For me , I like to think the orbits is such that the crescent as rapturing arms above a castle on the hill , rather than sideways pointing. But I couldn't figure out that precisely , is it about the speed , or the delay , , which is the same unit if looked as delay in terms of distance ?

    A spaceship with powerful radiation shields can bring down the glory of that quote :)

    Well thank you @old_jolly2 I shall take it as a compliment
  • kaguanakaguana Member Posts: 1,328
    Hahha I'm long over homeworks thank you very much ;)

    And Buddha , if he ever lived , speaks very bold , considering he is a very large "cult" leader , that large that turned into a religion. But that is a trick in cult making also , challenging against the most obvious , so no confused man would dare... Well , if he said to me that in the face somehow I would only say one sentence and walk away :

    " Attacker always loses. "
