Meme-ness

[icarus]

Borrowed from teaphile:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next three sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
6. Tag five other people to do the same.

A Guide To The Bodhisattva's Way Of Life
By Shantideva

With folded hands I beseech
The conquerers who wish to pass away,
To please remain for countless aeons
And not to leave the world in darkness.

That really is the book next to the computer.

Your turn.

The books were explained already, but just as an afterthought - never try to learn Finnish :) It's only for masochists and those who have way too much time on their hands, we do absolutely insane things to our words and there are so many exceptions to the rules (of which there are gazillions) that it can make macho men cry :) I have much respect to anyone not native who manages to learn it, and I still think they are crazy to even try :D
