So I totally stole the title from the book about Star Trek. But I was inspired. Here's some things I've come up with so far that I have learned from reading The Dark Tower series:
- Just because a man can resurrect the dead, does not mean he's a good guy.
- You might be the biggest bad ass the world has ever seen, but you can still be defeated.
- Make sure you're on birth control if you have sex with a succubus/incubus.
- Be wary of talking machinery.
- Mental illness is treatable.
- If you drop something important, make sure to catch it or else it'll come back to haunt you.
- Be nice to animals unless they're gigantic poisonous spiders.
- Talk to the animals.
- Never forget the face of your father.
- Never underestimate the important of a good joke/riddle.
- Massages are good.
- Antibiotics are miracles.
- Even dinner plates can be weapons.
- Never let your bullets get wet.
- Avoid unknown sea creatures.
- Don't fall asleep on the beach.
- Even the damned love.
- Don't take things that don't belong to you.
- Don't hurt innocents.
- Don't trust strangers.
- It's not about the destination, it's the journey that matters and who is with you on the journey.
- Remember to dance.
- Drugs are bad, mmkay, so don't smoke the weird weed.
- Avoid succubi.
- Avoid zombies.
- Bestiality is not okay. (You end up with Taheens!)
- Vampires are not to be trusted.
- Don't abuse alcohol.
- Sex is a nice diversion, but only really means something with someone you love.
- Know how to defend yourself.
- Palaver is important.
- Reality/truth is subjective.
- Protect the pretty flowers.
- Animals enhanced by machinery (AKA cyborg animals) fall into the category of not trusting machinery, and are rarely good.
- Remember the stories you were told as a kid.
- You don't have to be the best student to be the best at what you do.
- Poisoning kids is bad.
- Infidelity is bad.
- The Beatles are eternal.
- Make sure to say hi to Jesus.
- Know how to tie a good knot.
- If you can't push, then carry, if the load is worth bearing.
- Missing a few fingers and toes is much less a detriment to one's journey than losing a part of themselves.
- If you get too fixated on your destination, ones around you can end up hurt.
- Stephen King exists in alternate universes.
- The desert may seem to last forever, but it too, finally ends.
I'm sure I'll come up with some more, but it's a start. Share and enjoy!
