In the Sahara desert a nomadic people that have remained virtually unchanged since their origin, the saharawis, drink a strong mint tea that is very sweet, it is what you are offered as a guest and what is drank after meals, the longer the tea stays in the pot the stronger and sweeter it gets, so they say that drinking tea is a microcosmos of life

the first glass is bitter like life, the second glass is beautiful like life, and the third glass is sweet like death.

The Hashasins, a millenary sect of assasins, gave theyre assasins a powerful poison for which they could only recieve the antidote once the killing was complete, they smoked large amounts of the Cannabis ressin that adopted the name of Hash (from Hashish) to enter a trance like state conducive to their tasks and absolution for their deeds. The Hashasins had a masive body of knowledge and philosophy that governed their life style. When a member reached the higher ranks he was liberated, his liberation followed from the best kept secret of the Hashasins, one sentence.

'Nothing is true, everything is possible'
