_________________ I was ashamed of myself when I realised life was a costume party and I attended with my real face "Many of us like to ask ourselves, What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?' The answer is, you're doing it. Right now." —Former U.S. Airman (Air Force) Aaron Bushnell
Other people's problems, they overwhelm my mind They say compassion is a virtue, but I don't have the time
The song's lyrics are very real to me:
"In a world Where people have problems In this world Where decisions are a way of life Other people's problems they overwhelm my mind They say compassion is a virtue, but I don't have the time
So many people...have their problems I'm not interested...in their problems I guess I've...experienced some problems But now I've...made some decisions
Takes a lot of time to push away the nonsense Take my compassion...Push it as far as it goes My interest level's dropping, my interest level is dropping I've heard all I want to, I don't want to hear any more
What are you, in love with your problems? I think you take it...a little too far It's...not so cool to have so many problems But don't expect me to explain your indecisions
Go...talk to your analyst, isn't that what they're paid for? You walk, you talk...You still function like you used to It's not a question...Of your personality or style Be a little more selfish, it might do you some good
In a world where people have problems In this world where decisions are a way of life Other people's problems, they overwhelm my mind They say compassion is a virtue, but I don't have the time (Here we go again)"
This video blows me away. The first time I saw it I thought it was some high school band covering a Cure song. It wasn't until the singer/guitarist started to sing where I was like: Maybe it was my face blindness that I didn't recognize him????
