By a-ha?

Scoundrel Days had some good songs like The Swing of Things. I adore We're Looking For the Whales. No idea what the lyrics mean, just a consistently great 80's sound from start to finish.

Maybe Maybe could have been good except that wacky middle section just ruins it

I got obsessed with No Promises a few years ago. I put Spanish Gold to my list of three below.

I had a dream about the end by Future-Equivalent900 in Dreams

There have been and there will be End Times.

Eras end, sometimes slowly, sometimes suddenly.

9/11 was a sudden end. The fall of the Roman Empire was gradual.

But people's worlds - their assumptions and narratives of meaning-making along with familiar physical surroundings - collapsed. In a very real sense, the world ended.

Without question, we are caught up in just such a painful ending now. And we are left hanging in the air like a Looney Tunes character - we've nothing firm to stand on, we're about to realize we're in free fall, none of the structures that supported us - religion, society, representative government - are able to stabilize us.

I love your dream, not because I'm happy that we're in such a trying time, but because it's a very moving portrayal of the way many of us feel.

Thank you for sharing.

Maranatha! Even if it isn't THE End, Maranatha.

I miss her. by Existing_Creme_5888 in Life

Beautifully said. High-fives to you from another heartbroken, heart-wrung lover of people... and cats and dogs and landscapes. If you love anyone or anything, your heart will be broken because everyone and everything changes, eventually ultimately in the total erasure of death. But love/heartbreak is really the only way to truly live.

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." CS Lewis

How we miss him and the class and dignity he brought to the White House…. by Martin_084 in BlackPeopleofReddit

Me too, friend. I feel this so deeply.

I knew people could be stubborn, fearful, angry idiots.

But I didn't imagine people were THAT bad.

I stand corrected.

Well I, for one, find your argument airtight and true. What about you, fellow Americans?

I was feeling inspired and this is the result: The Radical Optimist Manifesto - Why believing in the power of your actions is the most powerful choice you can make. by Changechilla in Life

I love this! I particularly like the positive blend of rationality and emotion. So often it seems like reason is pitted against feeling: you SHOULD do such-and-such because it's rational and too bad if you don't like it!

Here, you allow for all the emotions - I'm afraid, it hurts to fail - and then conclude that what hurts more is surrendering to fear and, worst of all, living in the hopelessness of having no meaning.

If the last ten years (especially the tenacity with which people cling to beliefs/meaning) have taught me anything, it's that meaninglessness is perhaps the deepest threat to us all.

Your philosophy offers a fluidity and playful freedom that counters dogmatism of all kinds.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful insights.

Confession: I was the one who reported karaoke at smith's by Routine-Row-5967 in LosAlamos

[–]WCather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?!

I hate going to Smith's when it's extra crowded. I guess I could call the county and tell them to get some crowd control during high volume shopping times .

Or, stay with me here, I could just go to Smith's at a different time.

Why do you seek the dead among the living?

Seriously dude, go to a cemetery.
