What do you make of these lines...
"You build me up, you break me down, my hearts pound, you have got me"
Okay, what about these....
"I want to touch you, I want to see your face, I want to know you more.."
If you think I'm gonna spill secrets on adverts to compare sleazy song lyrics to help you earn 500 pounds every day at home, you've landed on a sour opportunity. Sorry mate. Could have given that advice away if you could run errands for me at least 6 months straight.
Anyways,on a funnier note, the first song is a popular teenage party number while the second one is actually a conventional worship song. Well, the resemblance in the flavour and appeal is strikingly similar, isn't it?Well, that's not the funny part.The funny part is that they are treated as diametrically opposite in a spectrum of choices. If you choose one, you will certainly be condemned (maybe even secretly) if you choose the other one as well!
But you see, going by the laws of similarity and proportion, be it folks lost in worship at a meditation/religious centre or folks grooving with the moving disc of a DJ, it's but a group of disciples with their hands up, lost in the music, worshipping.
Absolute respect. For both.
Well, the idea isn't the comparison of choices but rather to focus on the calling behind the choices. Strangely, a calling can sometimes lead to the seemingly dissimilar choices.
They say a person who has the nature of mountains can hear the call of the mountains, he feels a natural affinity around mountains. A similar thing can be said about a person who has the nature of sea.
Question is, when you land on the sense of a calling, do you presume that the whole sum of your natures and characteristics reflects the calling somewhat?
There must be some innate methodology at work within you which causes you to hear the call because if it wasn't for that part in you, however hidden, you couldn't have identified the signals. Almost like a hidden cellphone tower eh?
On the other side of it, how do you know it's indeed a true calling and not a fraud?
We perceive things symbolically. We understand things in whatever way we had previously known about them or things similar. So, an act or gesture that means something to someone can mean something completely different to you. It's like looking at a red rose and not knowing quite surely if your friend also saw the EXACT same shade of red that you saw.
How tough then it should be for you to know something whose existence goes beyond our general realm of perception!
So then it struck me that it's like being in love; you know it when you know it. Either you hear the call and know it's the call or you never hear it at all.
The calling, like the call of a mystic waterfall draws us to what we actually are, consistently and persistently, until we arrive at the source of the call. The road that we trudge becomes our calling. Like an itch until you stretch your hands and itch where it's itching, like your striving for perfection unless you feel perfectly perfect, like holding your breath in anticipation to meet your loved ones until you meet them face to face! And the rest, is sheer magic!
So, this party's non stop and the DJ's gonna blow your speaker up, the music is on. Are your feet tapping to the music of the call?
