No power, resources or influence. I ignore cases like this where the other person poses absolutely no threat to me.

If Eon doesn't say no...maybe legit?

[log Ungod's Story about a Bear Mage]
 
Ungod: Once upon a time, there was an old wizard who got up in the morning every day and practiced magic in his tower.
Ungod: He liked nature spells and often was confused for a druid, but he always declared sickles make him sick.
Ungod: And herbs gathering was bad for his back...He really was an old-school wizard.
Ungod: This wizard had a rather long and well-trimmed beard. It was his pride.
Ungod: On morning, as he started praticing magic, he accidentally cast the spell onto his beard instead of the table and suddenly...
Ungod: The old mage's beard tunred into a bear. A mage bear, the size of a bear, too.
Ungod: The mage found himself stuck to the back of his beard-that is, the bear, and before he could dispell his foolish spell, he was drag out of the tower.
Ungod: Apparently, his beard had a craving for honey.
Ungod: So, before he could know it, he was out int he woods, looking for beehives.
Ungod: The wizard tried to cast a spell of movement reduction, but it backfired on him and now he could not even gather his thoughts properly.
Ungod: When his beard - that is, the mage bear - found a beehive, it started to look for honey with its claws.
Ungod: The old mage's beard tunred into a bear. A mage bear, the size of a bear, too.

Ungod: When his beard - that is, the mage bear - found a beehive, it started to look for honey with its claws.
Ungod: Now, the bees were angered and started to sting the bear, but it didn't care. So instead the bees attacked the wizard.
Ungod: The spell eventually worn off, but it was too late - the old mage was lying in the forest, swollen like a barrel, almost dead.
Ungod: After intensive care, he turned his back to classical magic and went gathering herbs every moening with a golden sickle, but even now he runs when he sees a bear.
Ungod: Oh, and he shaved his beard, his head and even his...naughty bits.
Ungod: No hair is good hair, he says.
Ungod: And that's the story about the mage bear.

I have been in consideration of finding a way to give more back.

The mind is a terrible maze to get lost in. The challenge of life...
____________________________________________
 
For most people, "getting stuck" in a problem is a bad thing, and that is normal. The mind is full of crossroads and there are many moments where we just don't know which path to take. Some of these paths were always present, some were enforced by getting influenced by others. In another situation, the mind offers nothing but a dead end. These are the times when it is difficult to move on.
____________________________________________
 
I'm gonna take a turn here and move to something else. "Getting lost" in the Labyrinth for most people is confusing and frustrating. Repeatedly running around in circles seeing the same scenes, then that spark of hope when you realize you found a new path, only to see it lead to a dead end. Nobody wants to get lost in there like that, its just normal.
_____________________________________________
 
However, there are some people, very few people, who like to get lost, want to get stuck, for numerous reasons. Curiosity? Self-enlightenment? Intuition? It varies from person to person. These people want to explore their minds deeper than what is deemed as "normal". To see what the hidden side holds for them. And the results are baffling.
 
Now, we all know that our mind controls us, not the other way around (whatever "us" is :P). Most of the time, our minds protect us from knowing/doing that which we should not. Quick question: When we search our minds for something (eg: what you had for lunch 236 days ago), are "we" actually searching for it? The mind already knows it, somewhere, but why can't we access it? (and yes, the mind indeed has it somewhere but it is inaccessible at times, that's why the word "reminding" exists).
 
Think of the mind as a huge library here. What controls what "we" find in the library/mind? The mind itself? Does this mean the Labyrinth decides what path we take, even though we don't know ourselves? O.O (stay with me! :P).
 
People often forget that we cannot reach the depths of our mind ourselves. We can try to make it happen, but we cannot be aware of what the consequences will really be. And in order to make it happen... you have to get lost in that maze. Why get lost, why not follow intuition or forge your path, one might say? Well, simply because when you are in control of what you're doing, you only see/get/attain what you were looking for. You restrict your vision (aka only look for the library shelf that interests you, rather than looking for what the library has to offer you as a whole).
 
Now, the connection to what I initially said at the start. Wanting to get lost in the Labyrinth is not "normal". It's what people call "madness" in extreme cases. Similarly, getting lost in your mind, trying to access/explore your mind for nothing in particular, testing it to reveal what's hidden... can that be called madness too? Of course, the person himself won't be mad... the term "madness" is just a word we use to describe behavior that makes no sense. But, no sense to who? Us? What about the "mad guy" himself... surely it makes sense to him?
 
Now I saw the length of this post and decided to stop here with one last thing: Is it worth knowing what you shouldn't?

This is both a recipe on how to make the perfect Ramen meal as well as also serving as a Precautionary Tale upon Always Reading the Instructions! Please follow along closely:

YOU WILL NEED:

•1 package of Ramen •2 cups of water •1 packet of seasoning (included)

Thankfully enough the packaging already comes illustrated with quite simple steps which are quite clearly detailed in the instructions on the back.
 
   
 
Following this method quite diligently for many years, I always carefully measured, timed, and each bowel of noodley that I made in this method.  It wasn't until I had left the life and place of my upbringing that I discovered on my travels that there was actually an additional step missing from the package that was further required in order to obtain the perfect bowel of ramen hereby detailed in this recipe.  (This needed action takes place *between* the listed processes described in 2. and 3. meaning that Step 3 now becomes the New Step 4.  Both 1. and 2. remain unaltered and stay consistent in order.)
 
Step 3.75 What is not listed, and which remains necessary before reaching the desired completeness is to remove out the excess water after boiling the noodles before adding in the packet of seasoning.  Straining out this extra liquid beforehand will allow the full artificial flavor to exude itself around the bowel without allowing the taste to become hopelessly diluted from the excess moisture.
 
After nearly two decades of preparing, eating, and enjoying countless plates of watery mixture: I have now repeated the hidden process enough times to enjoy perfection.
 
The moral of the story is to always read the instructions first, however it gives no encouragement to then follow them!
