Joey Spimone was a lazy kid, a lazy kid you see He spent his summers daydreaming, daydreaming under a tree Wondering about far off worlds, growing up, & having a family He could learn anything -- from mathematics to philosophy He would soon see the falseness of the world; its corruption & vanity It was then that he decided; a different sort of life he'd lead He would not be like the others, seduced by idolatry He realized the futility of trying to change others: who was he to say how they should live, what they should want? He craved substance; glitter was like junk food for his soul -- it felt good but provided little real nourishment. If this resonates with you (at all) I highly recommend the book "12 Rules For Life: An Antidote to Chaos" by Jordan Peterson. It speaks to a malaise prevalent throughout our society. We have amazing technology that can do wonderful things. But it does not fill the void within us. Stay strong. Stay compassionate. Amen. |
