Salutations all,


More and more people I meet or see walking by are constantly looking up.
Trying to get higher ranks, promotion, winning wars etc etc. Although
you could say this is healthy, only Natural for a person and logical in
a harsh world of constant conflict, I can't help to think: why?

Sometimes more Strength is needed to remain what you are, sometimes it
takes more Courage to serve than to conquer. More Valor to Discipline
yourself and look at what you realy need and are.

More bricks are needed at the base of a wall. Any extra bricks are
always good, will always strengthen the whole. Where more poorly placed
bricks at the top might make the entire wall unstable, lean and
eventually even topple over.

When you get thirsty for power again, stop to contemplate your true
believe once in a while. Your true needs and desires. Who knows, you
might already be where you have been trying to run so hard towards all
these years.

In Honor of Ulgar
