Reality Bites

"Welcome back."
"......"
"It has been a while...ever since picking you up ...in Heidleberg...on your 20th birthday."
"Pick me up? You come to destroy everyone. Our dad and mom, our god parents, everyone nice to us... were killed! By you!"
"So...are you gonna do what you did...shoot me, again?"
"Yes...I am gonna end all these."
"End..... What is the end anyway?...... Again, and again, I've seen the world of the end several times...... But what is the end?"

Another story my chinese literature tutor told us in high school. Confucius had a stupid student. He once had a argument with Confucius, which made him want to kill his respected tutor. Prepared and waited, he had his chance. Yet he wanted to make sure his victory a definite one, so he asked Confucius, without revealing any attempt of his fatal plan, which is simply a rock.
"What is the way the best man kills?"
"With his tongue."
Disappointed, ZiLu kept on for the second best. "What about the second best man?"
"With his pan."
Now ZiLu was left with no choice, but to go on for the worst. "What about the third?"
"With a rock." Confucius said. ZiLu set down his rock and never say against Confucius again.
