I'm a little worried about the ending. Should I leave it or change it? If I change it, what should I change?

Much love,

Abounding in a variety of rites, resulting in actions, fruition and rebirth as the means to enjoyment and power, being full of desire and litent on heaven.

Overcome by desire, they perform works in order to indulge in sensuous enjoyments. They undertake many rites strictly according to religious precepts and perform their religious duty with dexterity.

As for those who cling to sensuous enjoyment and power, with their wits carried away (by that flowery speech), their single-pointed mind does not remain fixed in contemplation.

But, O Arjuna, they do a wrong thing in that they long for heaven and forget God, who is the enjoyed of sacrifices. Even as one collects camphor and sets fire to it, or one cooks sweet dishes and mixes poison in them, or one kicks a jar full of nectar found by a stroke of luck, in the same way they lose merit through the motive of gain. Tell me, after making this great effort, why do they run after worldly pleasures? But what can one do?

I just finished read The Kite Runner and found question that I can't answer on website. If you have a I dia for this question, let me hear it :)

"As Amir remembers an Afghan celebration in which a sheep must be sacrificed, he talks about seeing the sheep's eyes moments before its death. "I don't know why I watch this yearly ritual in our backyard; my nightmares persist long after the bloodstains on the grass have faded. But I always watch, I watch because of that look of acceptance in the animal's eyes. Absurdly, I imagine the animal understands. I imagine the animal sees that its imminent demise is for a higher purpose." Why do you think Amir recalls this memory when he witnesses Hassan's tragedy in the alleyway? "

I havepages of poems that I think are equal or passing alot of what I read today. The sad thing is poetry dosn't go anywhere anymore it seems. Maybe thats why we don't find good poetry, it's no longer respected.

Does anyone know of a website or a place where I can find a good example of early 1900s slang? I've read somewhere that a common saying was "horse feathers!" but I'm having a hard time picturing people keep a straight face as they shouted that...

We are tall just like the Scandinavians; and Swedish, Danish and German are all considered to be "Germanic" languages, so I wasn't sure if we also shared the same ancestors. Do you know any sources where I can find out what the early Germans were like (their appearance, if they really had blond hair, were they barbarians, what were they famous for...)
Thanks.

Being a dryad at heart, I rarely ever write stories set in cities, but there's a short story I need to write which is set in a metropolis, and I need ideas for the setting.

I need it to be somewhere large, maybe even cavernous, and a little dark. Not too pretty, and full of people wandering through.

Or, if there's another kind of place common in cities which you think is pretty cool, let me know. I will need many different settings!

Also, what are some places a seventeen year old girl would be likely to travel through in the course of a day?

I was wondering if you could explain to my why women make men feel good about themselves. How they put such joy and life into us. Why the sound of their voice makes our harts go a bit softer and pound harder. Why does a women’s touch mean so much? How does a woman's tender hand have so much power? Why is it hard to live with them and impossible to be with out them... Guys give your woman a hug. My love to all the women of all ages, colors and background in the world.
