Indifference - Beatles Fool on the Hill, Nowhere Man, & More

None of us can afford to be indifferent ... This video is a memorial to the attacks that took place yesterday in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), as well as all the acts of terrorism that have ravaged the world. It is important to note that indifference plays a major role in global events as well as our daily personal lives. We must stand united and strong ... with compassion ... and shed the cloak of indifference.

"We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future." (George Bernard Shaw)

Nowhere Man
He's a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his nowhere land,
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody.

Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man, please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere man, the world is at your command.

He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere man can you see me at all?
Doesn't have a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
Lend you a hand.

He's a real nowhere man,
Sitting in his nowhere land,
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody.

The Fool on the Hill
Day after day, alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still.
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool.
And he never gives an answer .....

But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down.
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning around.

Well on his way, his head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices, talking perfectly loud.
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make.
And he never seems to notice .....

But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down.
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning around.

And nobody seems to like him,
They can tell what he wants to do.
And he never shows his feelings,

But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down.
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning around.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it need sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you
how to unfold you love
I don't know how someone controlled you
they bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted
you were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
no one alerted you

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps

Our thoughts create our reality. Our realities create a collective reality. Know who you are and who's you are. Call those parts of yourself home which have been wounded love them. Let go of hidden beliefs which keep you small an petty. As the Buddha said "weed your gardens". "The bread you cast upon the water comes back to you" Jesus

Weeding the cobwebs and biases of the mind are integral to casting charity (love) upon the waters. Some prefer to remain recalcitrant rather than embrace anything outside of the surface and superficial that life holds - such is the ignorance of man and his making himself to be god, and quite sadly, a malignant cancerous god at that.

There was a Pakistani guy that posted a video from a cell phone in response to me, to show me his "Tunnel-less" Ms. Pac play style. There was continuous Pakistani chatter in the background. His account is now suspended. He had a strange long number for his YouTube ID. Makes me wonder if the suspension was just a coincidence, or if something suspicious was said. Could be he was one of those psychos!

Man, it's annoying when you type a comment, and YouTube chokes and doesn't add it..... Let's try again.

LOL. I didn't notice this vid before "serenading" you with "Help" lyrics. The Beatles in stereo is always hilarious - instruments completely in one channel. Great fun with headphones. Some neat images and animations... Where'd you get them? The colliding galaxies at the end was impressive.

I wonder what did you have in mind about where the indifference is with the Mumbai attacks? Obviously there is some all over - but did you have a particular slant?

Great starting place go within, within, within!!!! Lead by example.

Peace in my heart ,brings peace to the family.

Peace in the family brings peace to the community.

Peace in the community brings peace to the nation.

Peace in the nation brings peace to the world.

Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me.
