I started this post while listening to this song. It used to be one of my favorite songs about.. 2 years ago? Haven't listened to it in quite a while, nevertheless it's meaning and power hasn't faded. It's the perfect reflection of today's society. Monotony! A certain lady once said "Beware of monotony; it's the mother of all the deadly sins." (Edith Wharton) I could not agree more. It's monotony, boredom, dullness.. that push us to do things we wouldn't normally do. It's also monotony that makes us sad, tired, depressed.
We have forgotten to appreciate small things. We have forgotten to smile. We have lost this sense of freedom. all we have is greed and loneliness. No wonder we spend fortunes on things we do not need when all we really require as life forms is free. Air, water, sun, affection.
:) I find the quote very interesting.. Well said.
