I love this song by Phil Collins. "Another day in Paradise",
She calls out to the man on the street
"Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep
Is there somewhere you can tell me?
"He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
He starts to whistle as he crosses the street
She's embarrassed to be there
Oh, think twice,
it's just another day for
For you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice, it's just another day
For you, you and me in paradise
Just think about it
She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been cryin'
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can't walk but she's tryin'
Oh, just think twice,
it's just another day
For you and me in paradise
Oh, yes think twice, it's just another day
For you, you and me in paradise
Just think about it, just think about it
Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do?
Oh Lord, there must be something you can say
You can tell by the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
'Cause she didn't fit in there
Oh, yes think twice,
it's just another day
For you and me in paradise
Oh, yes think twice, it's just another day
For you, you and me in paradise
Just think about it, just think about it
It's just another day
For you and me in paradise
In paradise
Its so beautifully written, it just stats the current status, it doesn't offer any solution. Our feelings get moved even when we see suffering. Lets move to the other half of the point i am trying to make.
"You will not enter paradise until you have faith; and you will not complete your faith till you love one another." - Prophet Mohammed.
The word i am trying to decipher here are "Paradise & Faith". The way i see this "Faith" to be nothing but love and compassion. "Paradise is nothing but being aware(not just living, but the whole) and being alive. Nothing more about Paradise and faith to be known!. Nothing more.
