Learning to live with each other...

Yesterday, i fulfilled a childhood dream and saw the Eagles in concert. Something that with money, you might not be able to see. Don Henley's Vocals is still so magical after so many years, guess what he put on lotsa weight this time. Ha ha ha i guessed thats a sign of good fortune i would say. Don sang a song after the break, called Hole in the World. This song is not really a new comparing with Hotel California (The song that every person could hum to, and thats not the only song that they are well known for, for anyone's info). Back to the song, it was written on 2001 after the Sept 11 incident. This song somehow touches on inter-human relationships. The song is set with mellow and sad tunes as a backstage, singing a acapella, then follow by lyrics about how people fight and get angry with one another. This somehow is linked and anchored towards the angry JIs.

Don qouted a statement, " This Song is call Hole in the World, somehow the Hole just seems to get bigger" This appears to be a statement of dispair and disappointment. Maybe We should can see this from another angle, even at our present day and time. AT work, house, we are constanty try to juggle between relationships. Be it, Family, Work, Firendship.

Why are we not able to live in harmony and always seems to have irconcilable difference. Using my shallow knowledge, perhaps i can contribute my 5 cents worth of opinion. I would like to use a phase call " Difference of Ideals" isnt it so?? We have to face the fact that everyone is brought up very differently, different culture and background. Leading to different education, we learn to think differently. hence it will form our own sets of values.

How can we see this difference of values?? In the television, we see Kerry and Bush showing the world their difference of Ideals openly. We also have the terrorist who holds very dearly their believes, who is even willing to sacrifice their precious lives for their Ideals. It is because of such people who held to different to their ideals, stacking on their very strong character Subsequently meet up with the people who have similar character howver in this case different ideals, forms a competition. The competition stretches to people out there, and forces people to take sides which subsequently transforms from competition to enmity.

Glenn Frey pointed out " why cant people just learn to live together, not trying to preach but why people just can't learn to live with each other." Even for myself, i also held on to my believes, and then you will have your own ideals, i have people that i cant live and work with. When he quoted that, i asked myself that question too. I have problems with my family, work. Well i guess, the first point is to start and see things from the other side's perspective. Only then will she be able to learn to come to a common ground, where we will be able to cherish each other more. Perhaps we can reach the promise land over the yonder.

I discovered that i belong to a group of people that grows slow during puberty, as in the thinking wise. Nowadays, i see myself thinking like a old man. Like things that old people like, i start like listen music of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Louis Armstrong. i wonder whats the next stage of evolution for me...


Hole in the world

(Don Henley, Glenn Frey)

Chorus:
There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

They say that anger is just love disappointed.
They say that love is just a state of mind.
But all this fighting over who is anointed.
Oh, how can people be so blind.

Chorus

Oh, they tell me there's a place over yonder.
Cool water running through the burning sand.
Until we learn to love one another,
We will never reach the promise land.

Chorus

They say that anger is just love disappointed.
They say that love is just a state of mind.
But all this fighting over who will be anointed,
Oh, how can people be so blind.

Chorus/End
