I had a pretty awesome, if not terrifying, dream last night. I was on a mountain in the forest and I had heard talk of bears in the area. I saw one out of the corner of my eye but never did encounter one. Eventually, I made my way down this mountain to a campsite with cabins. It was fairly populated ,maybe too populated, probably 500 or so people. A few minutes after being in the camp, I began to see 4 bears coming down the mountain with a vengeance. They were snarling and destroying everything in their path, including people. The bears were grizzlies and kodiaks. I knew this because of their color. I feared for my life but I was not harmed. The bears wore themselves down on the forest then the people. The carnage was brief but intense.
Mongol General: Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life? Mongol: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair. Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life? Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women. Mongol General: That is good! That is good. Even though this is a quote from a pretty kick-ass movie, Conan the Barbarian , I think that's one of the best things we can ask ourselves and others: "What is best in life?"
