I find this blog very interesting. Qapla'<BR/><BR/>While misunderstood by many, Klingons are indeed a very joyous people.<BR/><BR/>According to the book <I>The Klingon Way: A Warrior's Guide</I>, the phrase <B>tlhIngan maH</B>, <I>"We are Klingons!"</I> is the strongest expression of joy among Klingons.<BR/><BR/>From <I>The Klingon Way</I>, page 3:<BR/>When Kahless the Unforgettable, who united the Klingon Empire, was cloned years later, the replica retained the ancient Klingon attitudes. He said to Gowron, leader of the Klingon High Council, "You have no joy, Gowron. Is your heart so filled with distrust and suspicion that you have forgotten what it is to be truly Klingon?"<BR/><BR/>This implies or conveys that being "truly Klingon" is to be joyful as well as triumphant.<BR/><BR/>Because of how they were portrayed, some people thought of the Klingons as angry and always hostile; but I thought this was inspiring that even Klingons found the importance of value of joy. I try to find and hold on to the joy in life, from the small day to day joys, to the joy of life itself in the "Big Picture".Deyvidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15526106226224773738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11356962.post-69737076558184336942008-07-25T08:24:00.000-05:002008-07-25T08:24:00.000-05:00Well, I think that enjoying the flowers is a fine ...Well, I think that enjoying the flowers is a fine equivalent to running through the grassJoelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03322401662083018557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11356962.post-44712332957912136212008-07-24T03:10:00.000-05:002008-07-24T03:10:00.000-05:00Since it's 4am as I'm reading this, and it rained ...Since it's 4am as I'm reading this, and it rained during the night - I'll think I'll pass running through the grass right now!! LOL! besides, brother hasn't mowed recently so it's more of a hayfield...but at least the cornflowers are pretty. I like them lots! You could almost say that they give me a little bit of joy in this blechy world! :DCierahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06193974545066147524noreply@blogger.com
