Can we live a life of peace and happiness?


Travailler plus pour gagner plus pour acheter plus pour polluer plus? Cela rappelle la chanson d'Alain Souchon:

Oh la la la vie en rose
Le rose qu'on nous propose
D'avoir les quantités d'choses
Qui donnent envie d'autre chose
Aïe, on nous fait croire
Que le bonheur c'est d'avoir
De l'avoir plein nos armoires...


Basicly saying work more, to get more money to buy more things, to pollute more. And that we think we will find happiness in things, in overflowing homes. Read this article about Sarkozy, another one from the one before that was so difficult and boring. This one you could actually understand, and I found these beautiful lyrics, la vie en rose. That's a movie aswell, about Edith Piaff, I'm gonna check that out when I have time.

Met one of mum's friends in town. Got really surprised, like what-are-you-doing-here? Apparently she's gonna read some course in Lund now, said we should grab a coffee or something someday. I really like her. Love even. She's really warm, a wonderful person, she smiles with all her face, you feel so welcome and loved. To me, she is the ultimate mother. Walking sunshine. Yes, we definitely have to go fika-ing, I would love that.

Breaking Benjamin. Listened to them today, all day. Beautiful lyrics, find myself in them.

(parts of "Until the End" - Breaking Benjamin)
Why give up, why give in?
It's not enough, it never is.
So I will go on until the end.

I've lost my way.
I've lost my way, but I will go on until the end.

The final fight I'll win

"Unknown soldier" by Breaking Benjamin

Border line,
Dead inside.
I don't mind,
Falling to pieces.
Count me in, violent
Let's begin, feeding the sickness.
How do I simplify,
Dislocate - the enemy's on the way.

Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white,
So I can leave this world tonight.

Full of fear,
Ever clear.
I'll be here,
Fighting forever.
Curious,
Venomous,
You'll find me
Climbing to heaven.
Never mind,
Turn back time.
You'll be fine - I will get left behind.

Holding on too tight.
Breathe the breath of life,
So I can leave this world behind.

It only hurts just once.
They're only broken bones.
Hide the hate inside.

Oh.

Forever ... one
I'll be fine

Holding on too tight.
Breathe the breath of life,
So I can leave this world behind.

(parts of "You fight me" - Breaking Benjamin)

I don't know what I want to be yet.
But I can show that I need to see this.
No time for lies and empty fights.
I'm on your side.

Can we live a life of peace and happiness?
I don't think so.

No denying I am scared to lose the things I love.
I'm in control.

Everyone is waiting here for everyone.
Leave me alone.
