virtual insanity

seneler önce sözlerini bilmeden sevdiğim şarkı pek bi anlamlı, pek bi güzelmiş.

virtual insanity- jamiroquai'dan geliyorrrr




sözleri de şöyle ki:

Oh yeah, what we're living in (let me tell ya)
It's a wonder man can eat at all
When things are big that should be small
Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us
And I'm giving all my love to this world
Only to be told
I can't see
I can't breathe
No more will we be
And nothing's going to change the way we live
Cos' we can always take but never give
And now that things are changing for the worse,
See, its a crazy world we're living in
And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin
Is all we have to give these -

Futures made of virtual insanity now
Always seem to, be govern'd by this love we have
For useless, twisting, our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound - for we all live underground

And I'm thinking what a mess we're in
Hard to know where to begin
If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made
And now every mother, can choose the colour
Of her child
That's not nature's way
Well that's what they said yesterday
There's nothing left to do but pray
I think it's time I found a new religion
Waoh - it's so insane
To synthesize another strain
There's something in these
Futures that we have to be told.

Futures made of virtual insanity - now
Always seem to, be govern'd by this love we have
For useless, twisting, our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound - for we all live underground

Now there is no sound
If we all live underground
And now it's virtual insanity
Forget your virtual reality
Oh, there's nothing so bad.
I know yeah

Of this virtual insanity, we're livin in.
Has got to change, yeah
Things, will never be the same.
And I can't go on
While we're livin' in oh, oh virtual insanity
Oh, this world, has got to change
Cos I just, I just can't keep going on, it was virtual.
Virtual insanity that we're livin' in, that we're livin' in
That virtual insanity is what it is

Futures made of virtual insanity - now
Always seem to, be govern'd by this love we have
For useless, twisting, our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound - for we all live underground

Living - Virtual Insanity
Living - Virtual Insanity
Living - Virtual Insanity
Living - Virtual Insanity

Virtual Insanity is what we're living in

Baloncuk makinesi

Küçükken bulaşık deterjanından baloncuklar yapardık. Rengarenk, irili ufaklı baloncuklar... Mutlu ederdi o baloncuklar bizi. En büyüğü yapmak ve patlatmamak amaçtı elbette. Ayrıca bir emek vardı onu hazırlamak, dikkatli üflemek ve patlatmamaya çalışmak. Sağa sola da saçılırdı bazen, evet ama bulaşık deterjanıydı nihayetinde... Eğlenceliydi çünkü bir amaç, bir emek ve bazen de rekabet vardı.

Şimdi, trafikte baloncuk makinesi satıyorlar. Düğmesine bakınca neredeyse anı boyuttaki onlarca baloncuk ardı ardına uçuşmaya başlıyor. Evet, onlarca ve hepsi aynı. Her balon aynı hızla diğerlerinle beraber uçuşuyor ve kayboluyor. Ne kadar cafcaflı ve etkileyici; onca baloncuk zahmetsizce çıkıyor bir anda. Kaç dakika ilgi çekici ve eğlenceli peki? 5? 10?

"Şimdiki çocuklar da her şeyden sıkılıyorlar canım."
"Bir oyuncakla da 1 günden fazla oynasa şaşacağım yani!"

Ne çok söylenir oldu bunlar. Suç çocukta mı peki? Ayrıca siz iki gün giydiğiniz ayakkabıdan sıkılırken, çocuk oyuncağından sıkılınca neden suç oldu ki şimdi?

"Biz çocukken böyle değildik bunlar 'canavar'!" demeden önce bir günün şartlarını düşünmek lazım belki de.

Ayrıca o baloncuk makinesine de teessüf ederim. :)

John Merrick...

...is not an elephant and not an animal! he is a human being!

Like many other beautiful movies, this movie is disturbing one way or another. Some people may find the gloomy atmosphere boring, some may get disturbed by the image of John Merrick, the elephant man, himself and some may get disturbed by all the people other than John Merrick.

Seing this movie just as "a freak's story" would be very disrespectful, especially to John Merrick.

I'm not going to summarize the movie, rather I would like to share my thoughts and feelings about it.

First I thought how hard it is to be like him and to be his mother. Later, I saw that he is not the one who is the freak. Finally, I saw that I am no different than other freaks that thinks better of themselves when they have someone to pity.

Accordingly my feelings followed this order: First I felt sorry for him; later I felt sorry for all the other people; finally, I felt sorry for myself.

There is one thing that made me feel good though. I may be like all others that may use others to look better but I can see that and be sorry for it. My gained awareness about this matter may be temporary as well. I may do the same mistake again and again without intending to do so. However, wisdom doesn't come at once. Personal growth is gradual. It is not just about a moment of enlightenment. On the other hand, some moments of awareness matter. They remind us what we are and force us to think.

Unfortunately, all that I said previously does not apply to all. All people like to resist thinking at times but some has it as a habit. They don't think indeed. They feel like it but they keep themselves from thinking. They can be very well functioning in their lives and may not want to harm that stable living with thinking. Indeed, they are afraid to think because they do not have the courage to do so.

I am happy just to know that I do think and like to do so. I love to think although it means to choose the hard way over denial. I like to take the hard way as it is the only way to be human and to be really me.

Back to the movie... I liked the movie as it forced me to see myself in that mirror Merrick looked into.

If you have the courage to face yourself (of course if you are able to do so) see this movie.
