Bear

[lousal]

When Bear was still an Admin I've asked him something over Skype. I started with something like "Hi, do you have some time? I'd like to ask you someting ...". The really impressive point of the whole conversation was his initial reply: "Sure, I'm here to serve" !!!

The second and last time I've met him consciously was in Omicron Delta. He was wierdly RPing something that made the Omicroners laugh and enjoy every second of it. It was a very delightful experience because of the fun he was spreading with his RP.

However, I don't know anything about him. That's a fact.

"There are so many people dying around the world every day, why should it touch me?"

I've read that statement upon Cannon's obituary today somewhere on Skype, and I was asking myself: 'Why can't you just turn away? It's the internet where the most people you're talking with won't ever reach any real significance for your own existence, so why bother to even think a second about it? Death happens to eveybody, and life has to go on. That's the game. Life goes on.'

Well, no, I guess it's wrong. The point is that life wouldn't go on if there wouldn't be people like him, people who are sharing the attitude he is propagating in his last message to the community.

It touches me, and that's why I will remember him.
