I believe a lot of people have heard of the song "imagine". This song is very well recognized as a song which pictures what a utopia would be, well at least that was my first impression of it. But as i paid attention to the lyrics a while ago.....i realized that the song has a very different approach of reaching the state of utopia than mine. And i noticed i wasn't the only one who didn't pay attention to the lyrics since a lot of my christian friends seem to like that song, well at least before i burst their bubble and ask them to listen carefully to what John Lenon was singing. "Imagine there's no heaven....it's easy if you try...no hell below us....above just the sky.....imagine all the people.....living for today(/the day, i dun remember)...." "Imagine there's no country....wouldn't it be nice if it's true...nothing to kill or die for.....and no religion too....imagine all the people...living life in peace..." what the hell!!!!That was my first reaction......it's easy if you try? No it's not.....but lately i have heard many people,even "christians" who think otherwise. (20 mins later) i have just deleted a whole paragrah which i'd just written.....cause i realized i was going on endlessly with no idea what i was getting to....i thought i was writing something profound and meaningful....yet reading it over, it was simply...garbage......there's no point to the words i have written....my arguments were circular...my thoughts were vain.... I hope that wouldn't be how i feel when i am looking back near the end of my life...... I used to think people who don't believe in heaven must be very pessimistic......but it might turn out to be the contrary......it really depends.....depends on how much you appreciate "today"..... for those who believe in heaven.....including myself.....what does "today" mean? I feel like i am walking down on a dangerous path.....but at its end may lie something i long for....ah....it's time to escape with a good novel....before i turn into a lunatic.....Just in case there are people who care about me and read this entry.....Dun worry.....i am doing fine....life is good......all is well... |
