Title: In A Harbour

In A Harbour two ships sailed; one setting forth on a voyage, the other coming home to port. Everyone cheered the ship going out, but scarcely noticed the ship sailing in. To this a wise man said 'Do not rejoice over a ship setting out to sea for you cannot know what fearful dangers it may have to endure. Rejoice rather over the ship that has safely reached port and brings its passengers home in peace.'
And this is the way of the world. When a child is born all rejoice; when someone dies all weep. We should do the opposite. For no one can tell the trials and travails which await a new-born child; but when a mortal dies, we should rejoice, for he has completed a long journey, and there is no greater boon than to leave this world with the imperishable crown of a good name.

Good idea. Let's become serial killers so we can have a big party.

He said 'wtf does that have to do with my post?' because your statement was so off-the-wall-and-pure-ape[censor]ery that it needed clarification.

...I know.
I really didn't mean to start an argument here or anything. Just a little joke. Maybe I should have worded it better. Sorry.
