For now, I would just like to comment on the song, "Someday When I Stop Loving You." I was feeling a little sad, because the Capital Hoedown Country Music Festival in Ottawa was over, and I was sorry it was over, because I enjoyed it so much and I hardly ever have any fun anymore. I enjoyed Carrie's concert there. It was the first time I've seen her in about 2 or 3 years. So I wanted to listen to one of the slower, sad, songs on Carrie's "Play On" album, so that I could think that I'm not the only one who's sad, because Carrie is sad in this song too. So I listened to "Someday When I Stop Loving You." I never listened carefully to the song's lyrics before, because I was shocked and saddened even more by Carrie's lyrics about "one foot on the bus....Thought about laying down in its path. Thinking that you might get off for that." It seems to describe how her boyfriend or husband is breaking up with Carrie, and she's thinking about killing herself by laying down on the road or highway and the bus running over her. How terrible, Carrie. I'm sorry you are or were, so sad. PLEASE DON'T KILL YOURSELF, CARRIE. I tried to kill myself when I was 19, but not because I lost at love. It was because I think I was making too much money in the stock market and wanted to make more, so that I could become rich, but I believe the stockbrokers were against the idea, and just wanted me to be content to make modest profits. I was also depressed because I tried Jesus Christ's get rich scheme mentioned in the Bible, which says, "Give, and it will be given unto you, 30, 60, and 100 fold." U.S. based TV Evangelists said that "God has all the money in the world", and that giving to them and God, and receiving a 30 to 100 times return on my donated money, is like a law of nature, like the law of gravity, which says "what goes up, must come down." So they said it was like, guaranteed, that people donating cash or merchandise, would be financially blessed by God, probably from some unexpected source. So I gave $3,000 of my hard earned dollars from my minimum wage job to the evangelists in about 1979 and I've been waiting ever since, for God to make me rich. I'm quite willing to re-invest part or all of a financial windfall, so that I could become richer. But all I got was ripped off. Now, I believe that God is Fraud. So God let me down, what else is new? I think a lot of people probably think of killing themselves when they're teenagers, because they want someone to love, but they don't get someone, for whatever reason, because they don't look good enough, they're not rich , or their future looks uncertain. I don't think I will ever try to kill myself again. My only attempt was in 1979. I have been scared out of the idea of ever trying to kill myself again, because I saw on a TV show years ago, about someone who attempted to kill himself, and he had a near death experience and was told by some spirit or God, that he had a choice, and if he chose to die, he would go to a place where his life would have more suffering than he was trying to escape from. So that makes sense to me. I think God wants people to suffer. So if a person tries to cheat and escape suffering by committing suicide, then God will punish that person even more, by giving that person even more suffering after that person dies. I hope that scares you from ever thinking about killing yourself again, Carrie. I hope you never kill yourself.
Hi Carrie, I've been feeling kinda' lonely and missing you, ever since I got home from the Capital Hoedown Country Music Festival in Ottawa, where I saw you perform in concert, and you were excellent and looked beautiful. So while I was looking at your "Play On" album, I was looking at the photos of you on the front and back covers of the CD and in the liner notes, and I was thinking about how pretty you are and what a beautiful hair style and color you have. And I thought maybe I wouldn't miss you so much if I went to a salon and asked if I could get the same hair style and color as yours. Except my hair only goes down to about my jaw, and I don't want to bother with hair extensions. And no, I don't want to look exactly like you, with women's eyelashes and eye makeup. Ha Ha Ha. But I love your hairstyle and color. Even though I no longer have natural blonde hair, since about age 14, I still have natural blue eyes. But I don't know if I will go through with the idea. I would, if I had freedom. But I'm afraid some people, like some guys might hate me, if they think I'm trying to look like a woman. Anyway, I think I might look unusual, because right now, I have black eyebrows which I would not be concerned about having colored blonde, and I might look hilarious, because my beard is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch long, and I just let it grow until it bugs me too much, like up to about 1 1/2 inches to 2 inches long, then I trim it short to about 1/8 of an inch long. So I think I might look pretty funny with colored blonde hair on my head, and I've got a bald circle about maybe 2 to 3 inches wide near the top-back of my head, with a black beard, and black eyebrows. And what might be even funnier, not that I'm trying to be funny or look funny, is that I would probably not bother to go and get my hair roots touched up when they should be, because it might be expensive. I don't know the cost, because I've never had my hair colored in a salon. And I'm not going to try coloring my hair blonde by myself again. Ha Ha Ha. I would probably just get my hair colored once in a salon, and that's it. Ha Ha Ha.
There our wonderful, true ideas here. What is hard for students, and indeed some faculty and administrators, to grasp is how complex the world is. A good liberal arts education develops one's capacities to discern complexity and to respond in a meaningful way. That is why all the professional degrees, whether at the bachelors level or beyond, need at base a solid liberal arts education. Philosophers sometimes call ethics practical wisdom, and I agree. To interpret the world well in all its complexity requires wisdom nurtured through good education. It is this wisdom and this wisdom alone that allows one to act effectively and appropriately--it is practical wisdom. Moral and cognitive development go hand in hand. We all need practical wisdom, which is why everyone in higher education ought to be concerned about the liberal arts whose goal should be to provide that practical wisdom. Thanks, Elizabeth, for the ideas and the example of your life.
- you know, frankly speaking I listen a bit different music, but after listening to your song "Together we made it" with my favourite Linkin Park I got so much interested that nowadays I don't even know how to describe my music tastes:))) dolce sport live
