Hope can be a powerful tool, as demostrated in the movie "Shawshank Redemption". The tagline of the movie reads: "Fear holds you prisoner. Hope sets you free."
Hope too, can be such a destructive tool. If falsely given, the effect is insidious. Its like feeding a druggie with dope even when you know that it will ultimately lead to immiment doom. To put things in perspective, its like how the Singapore Idol judges gave false hope to Joakim Gomez when he made a small stride in his vocal performance . While it was commendable on his part, it might actually got him thinking that he actually could make the cut as a singer. That, is cruelty.
My friend told me this earlier in the day :
"这世上最美丽的故事往往都发生在面临绝望时,希望降临在你面前."
And i told him this:
"这世上最残酷的事,也往往发生在面临绝望时,身旁的人还依然坚持给他一些不可能发生的希望."
Hope can be a double edged sword, so use it responsibly.
(Not So) Random Countdown to Wubai and Zhang Zhen Yue's concert.
Recently, people around me were and some are still involved in some messy relationship issues. It's pretty obvious that i'm not a relationship guru, so all i can do is hope and wish that everything will turn out fine for those involved.
Today's featured song is 在凌晨, by Zhang Zhen Yue. It's usually in the still of the night when the minds start to run wild. I feel the song is an accurate and heartfelt depiction of the lonliness and sorrow that run through the minds of the broken hearts, emoted excellently by the errant rocker.
在凌晨 (click here for the mp3 version)
词曲: 张震岳
在凌晨两点十分慌张想你
吸着无法入眠的空气
如果是梦镜也许是幻影
我想沉醉在这里
常常会发现你在我的身旁
听我当兵的故事很有趣
清晰的感觉永远不会变
而你不在这里陪我
我忘不了你给我最当初的礼物
忘不了你给我最当初的礼物
答应我陪我去寻找我的梦想
到头来我不是你选择的人
也许你是对的
