Normally, its easy to sing away the blues. You sit by yourself, sing some Beatles, and voila! you're already feeling better.
But sometimes, you can't sing 'em away. You just can't. When you feel like you've lost your voice, and the inclination to sing.
We discuss liberty, respect and responsibility aloud. But then someone once told me that the ones that are most vocal about how democratic and liberated they are, are the ones that should never be trusted. What happens behind closed doors and curtained windows is another story, altogether. And no fairytale this...
An eternity of silent abuse, growing pain, subtle discrimination, sustained violence and misunderstanding later, I feel truly tired of fighting. No amount of intellectualizing and analyzing helps. No amount of money, independence, or courage changes anything. Did someone say something about changing times and norms? I suggest the entire rhetoric be revisited. And revised.
Now I know why such few people think about changing the world. They have such a hard time just trying to change their own life.
