Hey Hakaryu, check out this cool quiz result!
Watership Down! how cool is that. It's one of my favorite books of all time. That and Don Quixote are my favorite classics. Newer favorite has to be the Harry Potter series, but I suppose that is a classic in it's own right.
What I like best about this quiz is gets me thinking of a topic near and dear to my heart..stories and storytelling. I believe there are more than the traditional four elements actually(or some say five) because I believe life would cease to continue without Story and Sound. For me there are seven then..Fire, Wind, Water, Home(Earth is only a part of the element of home) Soul, Story and Sound. I also believe elementals exist in many forms, from fairies to pets to best friends. Of course people can be elemetals, we are living loving and yes, imperfect, human beings but we still posess great wisdom and magic.
So I want to talk about fluffy bunnies and Jesus today. Now you see where this whole Watership Down thing has led...
What is a fluffy bunny? It's someone usually not taken seriously. A pagan with no structure. No known rulebook. Also known as an airy fairy. Now some people are just interested in candles that have scents that invite seduction or love spells and the like...but some Christians are only interested in going to church on Sunday to get in good with god while they turn their back on their supposed beliefs every other day of the week. I would say the first group gives bunnies and fairies just as bad a name as the second group does to Bible thumpers(perhaps another kind of bunny altogether)....
But Watership Down talks about something seen as rather silly or just cute in a deep mature manner. Through those rabbits we learn things about our own beliefs, our own resolve, and our own significance in the world if we allow the element of Story to touch our hearts that is...which makes me think twice about my own brand of wisdom I too have often been seen as someone who is just all fluff and no substance when in reality I have a lot to say and strong beliefs I stand by.
Now on to someone I think was a very awesome person...Jesus. Here I believe is a great example of a person who was also an elemental. I believe he was one of the greatest storytellers of all time. The magic and wisdom he brought to his parables some of the greatest examples of story magic of all time. Am I Christian? Hell no, I hate the idea of Christ. I think they took a beautiful wise person and made him into a controlling force for the church. It boggles my mind how any one can say they understand Jesus's words and then go on about how Christ died for them. Jesus was only being the great storyteller he was born to be and took great joy in being. Miracles happened around him because he had the gift of helping the faithless find faith in something bigger than them and within them at the same time. His words all but scream think for your selves, discover God for yourselves...and that was seen as dangerous so they made him a matyr for conformity. Jesus didn't die for their sins, Jesus was murdered and Christ was created to cement the power of the church in the coming phases of time.
But that's just one fluffy bunny's opinion right...what do I know?
