Little Tidbits

Im now reading an epic novel and it seems quite interesting,
although there are still a lot of stuff i dont know
as it is a sequel im reading.

This isnt the magical fantasy book ive been reading earlier.
Ive ditched that one already as the heroine was infuriating.
(don't ask me about it).

Anyways, the epic novel im reading tells of beautiful, ageless-faced Aes Sedai.
And that to become a full pledged Aes Sedai,
they must be able to control their emotions and what they feel,
inward and outward. Through the training they have,
they can psyche themselves to not feel the wintry cold,
to show grace under pressure and to not fall in love...
Interesting ne?

I have also learned of the ko'di which one of the famous warriors have been using.
From what i gather, it's like super-advanced yoga (if there ever is one).
With ko'di, you can envelope yourself in its "force field"
and thereby cut yourself from extreme cold and from other prowerful feelings like
anger. As was said, going to battle when angry is ultimate foolishness
as it makes one go rash with decisions and thereby is tantamount to
digging your own grave.

I'm just on the 32nd page actually (hehe) but ive been learning a lot,
even chancing upon really meaningful food-for-thoughts
(im weird alright..finding lines to internalize when im just reading an epic..hehe)
