Classical Heroes: Achilles and Xiang Yu
Classical heroes of every civilization have specific traits in common. For their audiences, they must be larger than life. They must be courageous and confront their obstacles no matter the cost. The major difference between classical Chinese heroes and those of other cultural backgrounds is that Chinese heroes generally do not rely upon the gods or other preternatural forces to come to their aid or to account for their greatness, for the Chinese hero, greatness must come from within.

The End
I woke up in an unfamiliar room. The walls and ceiling were white. The lights were bright and unyielding as they shone onto my face. The bed I was lying in had a papery feeling to it. I lifted my arms up and inspected them. There were bandages around my wrists. An IV stuck out of the crook of my left elbow.

"I don't know. I just feel like I can never really feel emotions." "What do you mean?" "It's like, I know what other people are feeling, and don't get me wrong, I feel happy sometimes. But most of the time I just feel... numb. Like I'm living my life remembering something that happened, or waiting for something to happen."

Correspondence
By the time I stepped outside, the leaves were on fire...I re-register that thought in my mind...the leaves were on literal fire. The noise I'd heard didn't seem natural, and the fire didn't act natural -- thinly coating the layer of leaves that had just recently fallen to the ground in typical early-fall fashion. The flames also held no real heat ... at least, I couldn't feel any.

Every piece of matter is energy condensed into specific vibration patterns, and when chemical bonds break the matter is released back into an energetic state; this cyclical transfer of energy is the dynamic of spirit.
