I definitely had a good laugh at this, both OOC when it first happened, IC when I found out about it, and just now when I saw this thread. Lucky for me I can look at something which should make me crack up and barely even smile, 'cuz I'm at work :P

Anyhow, well done.

I actually enjoy the idea of being "The Fool" (yes, since you asked, every joke about this has already been made): a person who always manages to cause disorder - beneficial or detrimental to himself - just by being himself.

Well Andreus has completely lost his shit this time. He's been honest with the IGS.

Hugs to all participants and observers.  I'm learning a lot about why I'm not in politics  :P.

But it is good fun, and as Jade put it, 'dynamic'.

Andy, that most recent topic of yours points out why the Christian heaven would eventually prove to be punishment.

Utopia is boring.

To quote the angels...Perfection ain't all its cracked up to be.

Or you might consider that complete self-absorption by its nature is isolating.  Once needs are met, and even most conceivable desires are met, if those desires don't become all-engrossing or destructive, the mind seeks to place itself in its setting.  The need arises for 'higher purpose'.  And I don't restrict that to the concept of a utopian heaven or blissful afterlife, but a broad notion of something greater than oneself, and a purpose to strive for, including such concepts as Group Survivial, Freedom from oppression, Service to a Deity, Duty in an Honour System.  The list is as big as your imagination.

Each of the factions have their ways of addressing this element of the human psyche.  I suspect Andreus may find his own way to addressed it too.  ;)
