Vindekarr Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) Here's another reason why that quote was stupid: What is a Volcano but creation and change made manifest? volcanos are responsible for creating islands, shaping landscapes, and are the source for many of the most critical biomolecules that make up and sustain life as we know it. A flower is just a flower; even in the biggest ecosystem it's one, fragile, brief thing. It in itself cannot create anything. A volcano however, could give rise to an entire new continent and biosphere. So what's the greater creator? The flower? or the volcano, one cannot exist without biomolecules from the latter. It's the nature of things for the old to be destroyed to give rise to the new, and nowhere is this more visible than with volcanos, who can create vastly rich ecosystems by annihilating the previous one. To see that as somehow wrong is an extremely short sighted view; better to burn a valley of flowers and lay down rich soil for a forest, than to let the valley whither away and die because of it's soil being devoid of nutrients. And to view this from another perspective; what is passionate emotion but the very spice of existance? A volcanic heart burns with passion and ardour, by it's positoning as opposite, are we to take the flower to repressent calm and dispassion? Could a metaphorical flower then never percieve the world as well as more fiery soul? To live as a volcano is to change and shape the world around you, to destroy and create, to be a flower, is to be a mute observer. I know which I'd preffer. And Brok-only stupid ones. What sort of idiot sticks around to watch a volcano erupt? http://i1170.photobucket.com/albums/r535/Yurimarkov/Mauna_Kea_from_the_ocean.jpg Not evil, just misunderstood.

Vindekarr Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) Hey Thor, my shooter comes in Episodes aswell, a new one every weekend, how long until your next episode? hehe :biggrin: Still up to my ears in Halo 4. It's the magical unfinishable game; every time I finish the campaign DING! weekend! five more free campaign levels! and the vicious cycle begins anew. While the idea of getting 5 hours worth of free campaign content every weekend is AWESOME, it does leave me wondering if I'll ever get this game to 100%.

Vindekarr Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 But it's building on a less enjoyable game IMO. It's gotta do more to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDNA Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Sorry Vindekarr You might see a volcano as life giver but only if the volcano is inactive. A heart that is like a volcano is filled with love, desire, or simply lust will never bring forth a flower blossom because it is like an active volcano. Kahlil Gibran used a simplified, associative (for his time not unusual method) of description. Most people think in such symbolism terms. Since Vindekarr is associates that a volcano as spot of fertility and values its life giving properties. Others associate an eruptive violent character with a volcano. A volcano is categorized in three terms Active, Extinct, Dormant / Inactive. Vindekarr refers above to the Dormant Inactive and Extinct volcano in his association of the quote from Kahlil Gibran but it becomes obvious that later associated an active Volcano within his line because only an on an active volcano there cant be any flower blooming there because it is unlikely in such an environment. The comparison that a heart that is like an "active" volcano can't bloom any flowers ring then truth, because it is the only classification of volcanoes possible that meets the requirements for this quote.
