>When I was still new to the royal palace, I looked out the window and saw a guard standing in the middle of a courtyard, nothing to protect. Nothing to guard. No doors. I couldn't figure out what he was guarding. And so I asked around, no one knew. Not even the emperor. Finally they searched through the old records and found the truth: that 200 years before, as winter came to an end, the emperor's daughter saw the first flower growing up through the snow. To keep anyone from walking on it she assigned a guard to stand watch over it, everyday. After that she never gave it much thought, and thus never countermanded the order. As a result, every day, for 200 years, a guard would stand in that place, long after the flower was gone. Long after the reason had been forgotten. Long after the princess was gone. As I said, these things happen [in a monarchy].

/his/ will defend this.

That story makes me happy and sad at the same time. Makes me think about things that change, things that don't. The beauty of life and its inevitable death. How short life is.

So long as the guard is being paid, everyone is happy. Doesn't make a difference to him what he's guarding.

That little girl ran up to a grown up, tugged on his shirt sleeve, and asked him to guard this flower for her.
