I'm in a bad situation right now... but before I could let myself be consoled by it.. I immediately wanted to tell you about it too. It's 80's..its kinda cheese.. but It helped me a lot today.

I’m in a bad situation right now… but before I could let myself be consoled by it.. I immediately wanted to tell you about it too. It’s 80′s..its kinda cheese.. but It helped me a lot today.

Lyrics:

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
Ive changed my face, Ive changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose

Dont give up
cos you have friends
Dont give up
Youre not beaten yet
Dont give up
I know you can make it good

Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that wed be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn

Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

Dont give up
You still have us
Dont give up
We dont need much of anything
Dont give up
cause somewhere theres a place
Where we belong

Rest your head
You worry too much
Its going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Dont give up
Please dont give up

got to walk out of here
I cant take anymore
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That rivers flowing
That rivers flowing

Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs

Dont give up
cause you have friends
Dont give up
Youre not the only one
Dont give up
No reason to be ashamed
Dont give up
You still have us
Dont give up now
Were proud of who you are
Dont give up
You know its never been easy
Dont give up
cause I believe theres the a place
Theres a place where we belong

But maybe it doesn't have to be God. Maybe the experience of having faith is what sustains us in our moments of loneliness, pain, difficulty. Faith to me is the belief that things can be different. It's our capacity to experience one reality and hope for another. And it is incredibly powerful. I guess it is not unlike Einstein's belief in the importance of imagination: "Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere." The power to think or believe in something that is other than what is in front of you. I think it is our capacity for faith that makes us human. My particular brand of faith is faith in the human spirit. When I'm down on the world and can barely tolerate the people in it, I think of people in horrible situations that despite their lot, exude strength and keep hope. This ability to see beyond ourselves and our own situations and aspire for something else is particularly inspiring to me. So I guess you could say my faith is in our capacity to have faith. I'm totally talking in circles now but it totally makes sense to me. Maybe what you are expressing is a desire to have faith in something–you are calling it God. But maybe it doesn’t have to be God.

Seth Gecko said something about vampires that I think applies to both, “If there has a Hell and those sons of bitches are from it, then there’s got to be a Heaven…” No, actually, if zombies exist, God almost definitely exists.

I don't know that I'd call it God per se though. I don't think I could go totally Athiest either. Thats like going totally Vegan in my mind... a little too difficult and hard to swallow. If God exists does that mean zombies cannot? I wonder if they are mutally exclusive. Hmm. I believe something of extreme intelligence created us… I don’t know that I’d call it God per se though.

But then, I'm not an atheist, either. I know plenty who are, but it doesn't fit for me. I believe in a god of some kind, but I'm still working out the details. I think Einstein summed it up nicely when he said, "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." And just like that, I've made my comment all about me. ;) I don’t think it’s weakness. But then, I’m not an atheist, either. I know plenty who are, but it doesn’t fit for me.
