A person ...Kyubai, what you have said is very wise. A person must invest in her/himself so that she/he can be of greater service to others. It sounds like an excellent tenant of a personal code to live by.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01494609521203854111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32234499.post-1270622886601020712007-05-24T11:36:00.000+04:002007-05-24T11:36:00.000+04:00Anarki: I didn't enjoy the new Rocky like I enjoye...Anarki: I didn't enjoy the new Rocky like I enjoyed the old ones...<BR/><BR/>David: I quite agree with u David people r people wherever they r. When I said life is a constant battle I didn't mean a battle with arms but I meant that we r in constant battle with all the hardships we meet in our life against our fears and desires not letting anything break us or set us back and that is the battling I was talking about.<BR/>I admire your way of living but I don't quite agree with u since u have to start by helping yourself then help others cause in my opinion thinking only of others (or only of yourself) would narrow your life prospective and that will eliminate your potential to improve yourself hence to make the world we r living in a better place.

I know tha...I think that I will add a few thoughts. I know that life in Baghdad is very different from life in the U.S. However, I don't think there is much difference between people in Iraq and people in the U.S. We all have the same basic wants and needs. For me, life is not about struggling and battling foes. There is work that must be done, some of it not very pleasant. Beyond that though, there is what to do with my personal time. I could choose to spend it in the selfish pursuit of personal pleasures, as many people do. However, I would rather spend a lot of that time doing things to help other people. If someone asks me for help, I will almost always see what I can do. So, my own code is not just about being moral and honorable, it is about reaching out and trying to make the wirld a better place in small ways when I am able. This is how I live.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01494609521203854111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32234499.post-50830224453688122182007-05-23T10:30:00.000+04:002007-05-23T10:30:00.000+04:00Kyubai, I hope that you are able to determine your...Kyubai, I hope that you are able to determine your own personal Bushido. I remember the words in The Last Samurai: The Emperor asked Algren about Katsumoto, "Tell me how he died". Algren replied, "I will tell you how he lived".Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01494609521203854111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32234499.post-10431906670561455822007-05-21T03:48:00.000+04:002007-05-21T03:48:00.000+04:00btw the rocky movie WAS good :) better than the 4 ...btw the rocky movie WAS good :) better than the 4 parts before it anyway :)<BR/><BR/>ooooohhkay:<BR/>we've had Rocky Balboa, we're having Live Free, Die Hard, and we will have:<BR/><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D2e24qBILM" REL="nofollow">JOHN RAMBO!</A>A.
