No message for this song, it's just a pretty song.
Oh, but wait. There is something to ponder in this. I know there are genuinely nice people in the world; I've experienced them. There are people who shine so brightly with such luminosity it is inspiring to simply be physically near them; altruism perhaps? Not sure what it is.
I don't see things as they do and I know I'm different than them. They either don't notice or don't mind things which I do notice and do mind. I don't have their heart; not entirely. I can think and behave like them, but I don't see like them. That is a strange thing isn't it? To see the vast spectrum of light, including the lack thereof. Sometimes I think it would be nice to not see the darkness. Yet, to not see it is to only see half of the whole.
Neurologically speaking, altruism can be created via brain injury (e.g. stroke). Insantiy and many of the other features of personality can also be created.
How much of our mind is a product of our biology and how much is developed through our environment? Silly questions, I know. Unasnwerable.
Anyhoot. It's interesting to gaze into the darkness. To know what is there--and what isn't.
There's also a sadness, for me, when viewing the whole. To know there are still those suffering. That I'm still suffering? That there's more to be done.
Not to alleviate suffering, just to allow those suffering to experience the light so they can see the whole.
Also to allow those who believe they aren't suffering, to gaze into the darkness; so they can see the whole.
To know we're never alone. Whether we are standing at one end or the other, we're never alone. To see ourselves as whole, to know the whole of ourselves.
