The Stars? (returning post)

[naQ]

Greetings fellow Warriors,
I have returned.
I hence have something else to say 

So, I found an interesting site I'm sure most of you are familliar with. This had some very interesting sections on the Klingons, alot of which can be intergrated into a real-life philosophy (that I try to hold)
Anyway, I found a very interesting piece on Religion in the Klingon Empire. This held something rather interesting on the place of Stars in the Religion...
Have a read...(second section down)
http://www.fka.org/Klingon/klingculture.html

I think it basically denotes that...
Stars (to Klingons)=all-watching=higher justice system (perhaps to compliment the "earthly" one)

I guess it makes sense that the Klingons would believe in some higher form of retribution, seeming the justice-based morals of the fictional society (which turns real-thanks to the people here and elsewhere)

So, comments? Knowledge? Anything? 

naQ, the complete

I never thought of the stars embodying anything like Karma. It strikes me as nothing more than the adage says:

"If there are gods, they do not help, and justice belongs to the strong: but know that all things done before the naked stars are remembered."

The goal of living as a warrior is to leave a legacy of great deeds. There's no need for those deeds to be rewarded, or for others' misdeeds to be punished. It is enough that their memory endures.

Hmmm...
I guess in my little philosophy I'm for the veneration of Justice and Honour. The main way to do that is via living them. The veneration of the Kahless figure also is a way. I guess the idea behind the star thing makes sense to me in that respect.
Thought that might be worth a mention...

I am all for the veneration on honor and justice, but I think that the main way this is accomplished is to remember ones acts. This is likely why Klingons tell stories of great battles, to remember honorable and just acts, and in doing so venerate them.

Obviously one who walks the path of honor tries to live honorably, one way to do this is to lets other's part honorable acts guide you, this is also a way to venerate these ideals.

But each honorable and just act we do, has the potential to inspire others who will walk this path in the future. So it is the remembrance of these acts which venerates them as well as the emulation of honor and justice.
