I am thinking of writing a book. It would have a pithy title like “A Deconstruction of the world in 29 chapters”. One chapter for each letter of the alphabet. Yeah, yeah, I know the English alphabet has only 26 letters, but the Danish one has 29, so why not use it 🙂 A would be for Alienation. Which is often how I feel in relation to the world in general. Maybe it’s just a habit I’ve fallen into. I know there are many different types of people in the world, but watching the news, going shopping in the mall, people seem all to focussed on shallow things, on clothes and looks and material possessions. Not that I don’t also focus on those things, but I feel as if this is all many people have in their lives. That they don’t think about and discuss more important things. Like ethics, love, compassion, good communication, forbearance and the like. I don’t get it when people say that they are not interested in politics for example. Sure, it’s a grubby realm to be sure, but politics is about the structure of our life. How can you not be interested in the structure we live our lives in? Maybe thinking I was different all my life has been a real negative, because it has certainly made me less socially adept than I would like. But if I had to quickly name two albums that represented what I felt about this issue, I’d choose Roger Waters’ Amused To Death, and The Cure’s Head on The Door. Go figure…
