The meme that everyone is doing
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 161.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Use what's actually next to you.

In diesen Offenbarungen, deren bekannteste das Taiping jing ("Heiliges Buch vom Universellen Frieden") ist, wurde den Menschen der Weg aufgezeigt, wie eine ideale Gesellschaft aufgebaut werden könne.[110]
from: Hubert Seiwert: Ethik in der chinesischen Kulturtradition; in: Peter Antes u.a.: Ethik in nichtchristlichen Kulturen. Kohlhammer Verlag, Stuttgart/Berlin/Köln/Mainz 1984, pp. 136-167
Some fundamental reading to understand the world and build a better myraworld. Actually I checked this out from the library mainly because of the paper after this one: Ethik in schriftlosen Kulturen (Ethics in societes without writing) by Wilhelm Dupré. The Author: Wilhelm Dupré is Emeritus Professor at the University ofNijmegen. He was Visiting Professor at the University of Manitoba,Canada, and Visiting Scholar at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, UK,and at the Centre for Studies in Religion and Society of the Universityof Victoria, BC, Canada. Why?, Because most of the nonhuman humanoid societies are oral, not literate. And the Tooska clan of trolls in World of Warcraft, which was mentioned in the science-of-gaming blog "Terra Nova" (in a discussion on race-bending in MMOGs/virtual worlds), impressed me so I thought our humanoids should wise up as well. Just look at the Goblins in this webcomic...
