I’m running blind....

Cant get this out of my head...yes this song


Running Blind

by Godsmack



Can’t find the answers

I’ve been crawling on my knees

Looking for anything

To keep me from drowning

Promises have been turned to lies

Can’t even be honest inside

Now I’m running backward

Watching my life wave me goodbye

Running blind

I’m running blind

Somebody help me see I’m running blind

Searching for nothing

Wondering if I’ll change

I’m trying everything

But everything still stays the same

I thought if I showed you I could fly

Wouldn’t need anyone by my side

Now I’m running backward

With broken wings I know I’ll die

Running blind

I’m running blind

Somebody help me see I’m running blind

Running blind

Running blind

Running blind

I can’t find the answers

I’ve been crawling on my knees

Looking for anything

To keep me from drowning

I’m running blind

Running blind

Running blind

Running blind

Running blind

Running blind

Running blind

Running blind

Running blind

Prinsoners of Mind

We are living in a hectic and competitive age where humans can turn against each other just to keep up with the pace of the unstoppable phenomena of evolution. Evolution, not as in Charles Darwin’s theory (An ant evolved to and elephant and a rat evolved to a cat…duh…give me a break).Evolution of our thoughts and social behavior which does not come just through coincidence or genetic variations. As a result of our own creative imagination and visionary forecast of the future, our life keeps moving rapidly in all the areas of development, technology and even beyond our own imagination. Evolution of this super human era makes each and everyone one of us so much part of this system that it’s hard to even break apart from it. For a faint eye, the system seems so flawless. Evolution, biologically has its own flaws, so does this system. Everything that evolves, randomly copies errors in genetic material in existing genes that becomes a mutation. The modern evolution era mutations differ from biological genetic mutations. Our behavior and thoughts drift along on a thin line drawn by the mutated minds of our own past. It’s not a genetic drift or a gene flow from one species to another but a mixed up concepts we blindly had followed through out our life. Isaac Newton’s concept of time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe, a dimension in which events occur in sequence, and time itself is something that can be measured. Ralph Waldo Emerson considers time as presentness, where past and future are but our present projections (of our memory, hope, etc.). Writers such as J. M. E. McTaggart in his 1908 The Unreality of Time have argued that time is an illusion. Here we have three concepts that conflicts with each other. What someone believes depends on the concept or concepts which he follows. Just imagine how many concepts you have followed intentionally or unintentionally through your life? We are nothing but prisoners of our own minds.
