There was a time it seems so long ago that I felt I had a special purpose in life. This was not a delusion of grandeur, it was a honest feeling of wanting to accomplish something of “importance”. I had a vision I wanted to share with the world, at least those who would listen…a message of hope…My inspiration was my music. I felt through song I could share that vision, the vision of how things could be. I was a17 year old idealist and I felt that what I had to say was something never said before, I was wrong of course. These things had been said before, knowledge shared through the centuries. That I was trying to relate was what people have been attempting to relate forever. The message simply put is that we, the people of this planet can live in peace and prosper, I said it, philosophers said it, poets have said it, hell even a Vulcan named Spock said it. Maybe it’s just Bullshit.
Please don’t get me wrong, I am not a cynical person, at least not completely […I wrote this at 17 or 18 years old…at 58, I’m a total and complete cynic now ] When I say that it’s bullshit I simply mean that realistically world peace is a concept that is nothing more than wishful fiction. We live in an evil world, a world that has negative and positive energy, God and Satan, Good and Bad, however you want to look at it, I’m trying to not get religious here, I will share my feelings on “being” later. I do feel that the basic struggle of good and evil exists through a personally perceived manifestation. However, my feelings on this subject are a bit mixed and I would not be honest if I did not admit this. I examine and reflect and even confront this issue and yet have no resolve […it does come later…].
