It's kind of funny, I thought people would be commenting on my story after the two new chapters of Worlds of Difference 2 and 3 went live.

Well I guess I will explain some of the aspects in my story that people may have overlooked or had questions:

The allowance of 13 and 15 year olds to drink alcohol during ancient times was a true practice especially during long journeys. True it is against the law today in most parts of the world for underage drinking, but during the 7th century BC, most major civilizations mixed alcohol into their drinking water in order to dilute certain properties and help stamina. Greece is famous for this, but so was the nations of Ancient China as depicted in my story. Along with that, spiritual alcohol is another aspect of Chinese Confucian ideas for drinking and sharing during feasts, which worked well into my story since I also introduced Confucius into the new chapters.

Some people may be arguing, Why Confucius was such a prick toward gays, "didn't he accept everyone"? Well, Confucius according to legend was taught by the originator of Daoism, Laozi. Daoism is about the balance of nature and the idea of observation without interaction. Confucius is said to have refuted this idea and believe application should be the instrument of mankind's own destiny.

Well, homosexuality is viewed as an anomally in certain Daoist interpretations, not from the founder Laozi's original ideas, but due to the idea of masculine and feminine being necessary to perpetuate natural evolution and Confucius at the time in my story still was under this particular set of Daoist principles, so his negative reaction to homosexuality is pretty accurate of one of the era's philosophical daoist ideals.

I'll explain a little more into the idea of Confucianism and the erroneous interpretation that Western philosophers try to place on Confucius' ideas later. You don't know how wrong many western philosophers are about the "Golden Rule" and what Confucius actually believed.

So does that give you a little idea on how I write this story; it is full of historical facts and interesting cultural material.

After the ancient chinese adventure; my characters will journey to Biblical era Judea around 10th century BC, hehe!

If you think learning about ancient China was interesting and the problematic interpretation of eastern philosophy was revealing, wait until you read about what the bible does not tell you.
