As I'm writing this, a commercial is playing on the TV. I don't know what it's advertising, but the scenes are of a city and everything is too clean for real life.
Real life is messy, and I've been hyper-aware of that fact lately. Christmas break allows for time to think -- in fact, probably too much time to think. I find it easy to be sad during the winter: that's probably the simplest explanation of the myriad loose ends in my life that all appear as crises now. Friendships shifting. Disciplines lacking. Worry gathering. Job burnout. Etc...
Pray for me to stop indulging in sadness. Or ought it be that I not feel guilty for being sad? I can't tell. I'm tired of seeing two sides of a story.
don't teach me about politics and government
just tell me who to vote for
don't teach me about truth and beauty
just label my music
don't teach me how to live like a free man
just give me a new law
i don't wanna know if the answers aren't easy
so just bring it down the mountain to me
i want a new law, i want a new law
gimme that new law
what's the use in trading a law you can never keep
for one you can, that cannot get you anything?
