This is one of my favorite songs that I've written:
High On Peace
Is it really real?
Can it exist?
I'm talking about peace
I know about violence
Every time I turn on
The radio or TV
It's a body count
Of a madman's killing spree
But my theory is
If we want to see the root
Understand that madman
Why he do what he do
Jump inside his head
Extend a little empathy
It's the only way
That we will find peace
Because I'm high on peace
High on love
Something that
I've been dreaming of
High on peace
High on love
Something that
I've been dreaming of
It's not just a ploy
Not silly words to you
It's a goal to have
Something that we have to do
What happens if we fail?
What happen if we don't?
It's better to say 'I will'
Than to say 'I won't'
Lennon said peace at work
And peace at home
I'm convinced that peace
Has been with us all along
If you agree
Throw a peace sign to the sky
Keep it up
And fly that peace sign high
Fly it high
Fly it high
Fly it high
Fly it
High on peace
High on love
Something that
I've been dreaming of
I'm high on peace
I'm high on love
It's something that
I've been dreaming of
Am I a delusional, naive idealist? Or, are my ideas just big and positive? I ask myself that question all the time. And, I never have a clear answer, partly because I don't want to have a real answer to anything, especially complex life issues.
Regardless, I think anyone that complains about a way of living should come up with an new idea list. You can't complain about something, then have no other possible solutions. If you think something's wrong, then what's right?
That's my challenge. Next time you find yourself bickering about something, take a moment and THINK. Try to come up with a couple of ways to fix the problem. Don't just continue to plod forward mindlessly. In short...
Don't be an idiot.
