An old Terran saying, "the cup is always half full", helps us understand his upbeat attitude. Meng is a student of Klingon culture, and is heavily influenced by the Klingon philosopher, Kang K'tark. K'tark wrote: "One needs not have a space chart to reach a destination, one just needs to know the destination". That is all Meng needed to know to guide his life. | ||
Meeting the brash Kerelian could be quite the experience. A trusting person, Meng mostly assumed what he is told is true. Believing that there were only three ways to answer a question -yes, no, I don't know- Meng would berate a person if he felt he was lied to or given incorrect information even if the giver had the best intent. This could be an annoying trait for if Meng was certain he was right, he would not let the subject drop. Having an eidetic memory Meng found out means you are only correct on things that you know about, not what you think is correct. | Meeting the brash Kerelian could be quite the experience.
