Deep thoughts
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.
Now go. Kill them all.

I had a lot of young guys in Iraq (19-24 yr olds) who wanted to "kill them all" -- (meaning bad guys of course) -- have to love young men with fire in the belly and a desire to change the world. Having been tasked with mentoring them (and wanting to never write a letter to their parents telling them why their son was not coming home), my challenge was how to motivate them yet have them exercise appropriate caution
in a combat zone. One day, it came to me in a flash. Bear in mind that we have trained all thru the 80's and 90's to fight the Russian Bear, to stop the Russian Army tanks and APV's as they stormed thru the Fulda Gap in Germany (in our exercises at the NTC -National Training Center at Ft Irwin, we fought the "Krasnovian Army" -- actually the 11th Cav masquerading as the Russian Army.) I gathered my guys and told them:
"Our mission is to destroy AQI - Al Qaeda in Iraq -- it would be easier if we were fighting professionals -- professionals are predictible. Gentlemen, never forget that we are fighting rank amateurs -- and given that, I don't know what the "freak" they will decide to do next. So, don't underestimate them -- stay focused."

I always heard it this way:
One should live one's life in such a manner that when you are gone they will be there to eulogize you, praise your life, rejoice ....and....NOT to make damn sure you are dead.

Two men were working on a roof when a manure reservoir uphill broke, and surrounded the house with manure, knocking over their ladder. Both men stared down in shock. One looks to the other and says "It can't be that deep, I'm jumping." So off he jumps, the other man closes his eyes afraid to look. Waiting a little while he shouts out "How deep is it?" still unable to open his eyes. The first man says "Only up to my ankles." So the second man jumps off blindly, upon landing he opens his eyes and finds that the manure is up to his neck. He yells out to his friend "It's all the way up to my neck," and his friend responds "I knew I shouldn't have jumped head first."

I had to tune-in to this thread because I saw "CAJUNLAWYER" along with the words "Deep Thoughts." I immediately thought, although not very deeply, "Wait a minute! Those terms are mutually exclusive or, at best, Contradictio in terminis."
