    You have placed the Rules above the Message. And you have failed to understand any of the spirit of the text.

    I do. I do.

    Embers can ignite a whole forest.

    Even planks.

    Kinda thought you would have picked up on the irony of your ember statement especially as you have been advocating the dark.

    C'est la vie! Or as the French say "That's life!"

    The light belongs to the living. The sunlight and the mindlight. The dark is inevitable the closing of the eye and the disengaged mind knows nothing of the dark in death.

    So enjoy and aknowledge the dark whilst you can.
