Ua Lava = Perfect Simplicity
This is the strive. Life, in a simple form that is lived to Perfection. Is this easy. Not a chance. Is it attainable? Possibly. Why would I does this? Because I believe that being in this state of being accomplishes a lot of things in life as well as prove to be a surviving method for this life. Does perfect simplicity mean not having possesions. Absolutely not. It means not having an over abundence. It means being content with what you have. It means not taking for granted what you have. It means thinking that no matter who you run into in life that person could possibly teach you something that you do not know. It means never thinking that you are too learned to learn something new. It means treating those around you humbly and graciously. So this is the goal. This is the meaning. The path will be examined. 360 angles of the Path.
May they all be approached from Ua Lava.

Angle 72 of the path now available
Some of you may be wondering were the "path" that I'm refering to is coming from. Partly it is from 2 different books I've read. One being called Xenocide and the other being called Book of Five Rings. They both talk about the path in completely different ways but the concept interests me so here I go.
One of my favorite comedians when I was growing up use to tell a story about people who came up to him and asked him if he thought that God had a sense of humor. He went on to say that the first repsonse his brain had was "have you looked in the mirror." Now that in itself is extremely funny. But it has also lead to another thought. He never said his first thought to those people. Now I understand it may have been a little harsh, but why do we as people do so much self censoring. So many times we don't say what we are really thinking or what we really believe because of what? Are we afraid of how another person might take it or react to it. And if it's the truth we shouldn't be backing off of it at all. Can the truth hurt? Absolutely, but lies can hurt even more down the road.
But then again this is a view from angle 72.
