Staffs have a certain unique philosophical quality here...
they burn, therefore, they are.
Where as if you burn,
you are not.
Fear and respect it.
Philosophically speaking, they have personalities, make choices, and can act freely if they choose. Depending on the very tangible hand staff co-ordination of the user, they can commit arson and get off on user charge of stupidity.
From a surrealist perspective, these staffs have diplomatic immunity and we should fear them unquestioningly.
From a monarch totalitarian perspective, we shall continue to burn the staffs until such time as we are burned ourselves. At which point the staff shall realise that it in fact needs us possibly more than we needed it.
Based upon this philosophy, I'm grabbing a quad-strength coffee.

well the movement isnt necessary but if you dont move you become stagnant
and as for in your hand, it may start there but movement takes it to anywhere else it can be
simian - the reason it is not the same as if you were playing a rousing game of billiards at the the gentlemans club, is in what you have said
you are playing a game of billiards therefore because you happen to use a long thin piece of wood and display skill with it, it isnt doing staff is it

a staff to me is much like a woman: dangerous and unforgiving.
you think youve got her worked out, but in two seconds flat she goes from a plaything to an uncontrollable serpent.
she is comforting in time of need, but ultimately frustrating when she begs and begs but you cannot give her the time or the energy. and she will never forgive you.
you think that once youve known one girl, all the others will be the same, but some will be better, some will be worse.
everyone (normally) prefers their own girl to everyone elses, unless they are dissatisfied with her performance.
some are natural, taught young beauties, others are modified aesthetically and covered in silicon
its good for the ego when you can make your staff quiver with excitement and go weak at the knees.

That was all kinds of random, and yet so unrivaled in its questionable yet remarkable accuracy.
Crazy...
Also, on a slightly more serious note than before, when it comes to fearing and respecting, fire should not be feared (though burns should be :P) it should only be respected.
It's personality that should be feared... every action and its equal and opposite reaction? Spin your staff around and set it on fire enough, and see what it does!

A staff, much like any other long hard member, needs to be treated with care, some being more fragile than others. As far as staff philosophy goes, well i never was much of a philosopher, but one thing to remember is staffs have feelings too and too much rough play will only make them bend-or even worse-break!  When manipulating ensure you have a firm grip, and although 2 hands aren't always necessary, to begin with both you and the "staff" may find this more pleasurable. Love your staff, even if its only when you're playing with it.Your staff needs to feel like its the only staff in the world. For doubles, most of the time a shorter length is required for ease of manoevrability. But remember-both staffs are equally important-don't give one more attention than the other.  If considering multiple staffs, you really must make sure you have the hand eye coordination and energy to maintain all at an equal pace before even attemping it, you wouldnt want one to feel left out and drop away, or even worse one to have to much use and hit you in the eye or something. Love your staff, let your staff love you, even if only for a couple of hours a day.
