Where is the Love?

There is a song called “Where’s the Love” by Black Eyed Peas. It has profound lyrics about the deprived state of the world. The words concentrated on death, children, asking questions about the abysmal world, killings, and terrorism, discrimination, justice, and corruption. At one point, the lyrics even tell you to take control of the mind in the world of change and insanity all around. It talks about the real side of the world- the media, racism, money, etc. Why are we talking about the song? It’s because the lyrics still apply for today. Today people are worried about the future even more. 

 

Crisis and compassion

 

Owing to so many problems deeper than what it looks like, the search for happiness is even more! There is the Pandemic which has created fear of a different kind for the current generation. Exceptional changes need to take place, especially in terms of compassion. People are becoming easily selfish and segregating the public between corona affected and not affected. All we need right now is help and understanding instead of divisions and hatred. 

 

Yes, these are the times of extreme fear of contracting the disease, but extremes are unacceptable. We need to create a better world. We need people to be more caring than money-minded for a new beginning. 

 

The power of music

 

The song “Where’s the Love” will make you think on so many levels. Similarly, songs like Heal the World by Michael Jackson and the Age of Reason by Black Sabbath has meaningful lyrics. It makes you think about being the change, positively appreciate this gift of life, to take care of yourself but also help people in need- that is where the love is. 

Music has a huge role to play in a person’s life. It changes you internally. Your taste in music shows who you are. Spread love through it in the world where there is war, terrorism, natural calamities, etc. It is like self-help as well. You just need to listen to the right ones. 

 

It is a difficult time today. Believe in the power of now and move forward courageously. Listen to others sometimes is a way of showing love too. Make yourself believe in Love all over again and that the world will become a better place. Unless it doesn’t start with you, it never will. It is the need of the hour.

Can being “Positive” feel Forced?

We are in a world where there is a lot of negativity. Staying positive is the new trend. As much as it sounds good, sometimes it may feel forced. The very pressure of staying positive becomes a bit much when it isn’t like that in their real world. There is this one  gift of life   where one should feel just as they do, instead of what others want them to.  What is forced or toxic positivity?   Forced positivity is the thought that people dealing with a disease need to continually portray themselves in an optimistic mood or light, and that thinking “on the bright side” will help with the hurt. This is awfully common on social media where people are anticipated to only show the good side of their lives.   The term 'toxic positivity' refers to the idea that focusing on the alleged positive emotions and reject anything that may activate negative emotions is the right way to live a life.    The pressured feeling   This kind of feeli...
