RIP – David Carradine
David Carradine hung himself in a closet at the Bangkok Sofitel while filming a new movie today. I loved the Grasshopper! So sad. He was 72 years old. His television show, Kung Fu, like the Star Trek of old, was a great, inspired television series. I miss those kind. I think we’ve all become too jaded to experience them the say way we did then.
Some dialogue from Kung Fu:
“Deal with evil from strength, but affirm the good in man through trust. In this way, we are prepared for evil, but we encourage good.” — Master Kahn
“And is good a great reward for trusting?” — Young Caine (Grasshopper)
“In striving for an ideal, we do not seek rewards. Yet trust does sometimes bring with it a great reward, even greater than good.” — Master Kahn
“What is greater than good?” — Young Caine (Grasshopper)
“Love.” — Master Kahn
“And what is love?” — Young Caine (Grasshopper)
“Love is harmony, even in discord.” — Master Kahn
Other words of wisdom:
“Can a woman be happy alone?” — Caine (Grasshopper)
“To be alone, without one to love, is a waste of the body. To be not alone, without one to love, is a waste of the soul.” — Su Yen Lu, quoting her father
“Love born of betrayal is better lost than lived.” — Su Yen Lu, quoting her father

A rarely seen movie that David Carradine did a great job, is “Cloud Dancer”. If you just want a story, this movie will provide entertainment. The Flight footage is great, both inside and outside the Pitts, a very acrobatic aircraft. If you like Mr. Carradine and acrobatics this is the movie to own…www.YouControlinvesting.com
