Chinese legend has it that a fair maiden named "Seung Ngor" floated up to the moon after eating some magic pills for immortality that were meant for "Hau Ngai", a tyrant of a king who wanted to rule the world forever. Seung Ngor's "sacrifice" came about because she did not want to see more suffering and turmoil under such tyrannical rule.
Subsequently, every year at Mid-Autumn Festival, people would eat their mooncakes while remembering Seung Ngor on the moon.
As Jerry was getting ready for sleep tonight, he told LH that Seung Ngor had it all wrong. She should not have eaten the magic pills, but instead, she should have sit Hau Ngai down for a serious talk, to teach him that he should not be a tyrant and treat people nicely. That way, Seung Ngor would not have had to float up to the moon causing people down on earth to miss her so much.
I thought that she should not have eaten the pills but thrown them in the toilet (the ancient type w/o flushing) for then, I'm pretty sure Hau Ngai would not want to eat them for all the worlds that he could rule over.
I think both streams of logic are quite reasonable, don't you?

Again, wat can we say, Jerry always has his way of seeing things & interpreting it in his own way~ such a peacemaker~
Yes, both are logical. His is more idealistic, whilst yours...practical. :)
sit down for a serious talk.
