"Happy people have no stories"
Stories by Therapy? That line always stuck with me.

Happy people are also boring

I can't argue with that. Of course that is unless they are insane. Then they are both not boring and have stories (true or not, they are stories) which completely contradicts what both of us have said. In that case, let's just assume they are not crazy.

[Artemis923]

See the plains lie ghastly silent as being frozen in time
A place of distress where evil still lies vigilant enshrined
Years that passed are now centuries and forgotten seem the fallen ones
But on lived the memories in the spirits of a battle's sons

Hear the choirs
Is it the wind that brought back their cries?
Once forged in blood by tragedy
Sharp were the thorns of crimson death

Through the air again our voices whisper
and awake are now your eyes
For too long closed in slumber - but death didn't prove our demise
By ages so dark we've been sculptured
as fragments of story and tales
As we haunt we are endlessly captured
and shrouded in the wind that here wails

Hear the choirs
Is it the wind that brought back their cries?
Forged in blood by tragedy
Dark were the thorns of crimson death

By ages so dark we've been sculptured
as fragments of story and tales
By the place that we haunt we are captured
Against eternity we can prevail

Hear the choirs
It was the wind that brought back their cries
Forged in blood by tragedy
Dark were the thorns of crimson death

-Thorns of Crimson Death from Dissection

 

[Vision of Division]

There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a ************ before you popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. Now I'm thinkin': it could mean you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could be you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd.-Jules(Samuel L Jackson) from Pulp Fiction.

Hold your horses people, we've got a winner.

(Pulp Fiction is my all-time favorite, so mad props for you)

'And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and again and again and again and again' - Johnny Cash - Highwayman

'And I think here's to the gents and ladies
And all the foolish times we've had
They cost me afterlife in Paradise
And they were worth every single cent' - Great Big Sea - Straight to Hell

A sore arm or other injury its far from your arse you won't sit on it meaning that at least you can't hurt it by sitting on it.
