Revitalized Perspective
Ok, I been a bit edgy lately, so adjusting core thoughts.

Here is a new 'thought'

Every man and women, everyone, every race, every religion, every social grouping.

Has challenges in life, and I should try and realize with every blessing comes challenges, and helping oneself, and others overcome their special little challenges in the world should never focus on their blessings, but on how I myself can be better when I see another's challenge and work on that in myself, and if blessed, possibly help them.

The poor man struggles with bills, the rich man struggles with cares of others, the merchant must sell, the farmer must grow, and the shepherd must tend.

And many combinations that cross over and connect them all.

This video sparked that thought. Interesting never saw the song that way before.

Full Song

Umm boom bah day
umm boom bah bay
umm bah boom bah bay day

Pressure, pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man asks for
Under Pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Umm bah bah bay
Umm bah bah bay
Ea day da
Ea day da
That's okay!

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people
People on streets

Day day day
Umm... Buh da bah bah bah
O-kay!

Chippin' around
Kick my brains 'round the floor
These are the days
It never rains but it pours

Ea doe bay dup
Ea da doe bah bup
Ea doe bup
Bay lup

People on streets

Ea da dea da day

People on streets

Ea da dea da dea da dea da...

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher-higher-high...

Pressure on people
People on streets

Turned away from it all
Like a blind man
Sat on the fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love
But it's so slashed and torn
(Why, why, whhhhhyyyy??)
Love love love love

Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking

Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love give love give love?
Give love give love give love give love give love

Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For the people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves

This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure

Pressure
