CRIMES

CRIMES:

Crime is the violation of rules or laws for which any governmental authority can impose a punishment.

In my opinion, three of the most heinous crimes are murder, hijacking a plane and a burglary with violence for the habitants of a house.

Murder, of course, is the crime that we have most fear, because it is taking the life of a human. It tries to kill another person. No matter if the murderer has motives or hasn't justification, when we talk about a murder is a heinous and repugnant crime. Nobody has the right to kill another human.  Life should always be respected.

The hijacking of a airplane is one of the crimes that I have more afraid, because I have very much afraid of flying, and after that, being hijacked, is the most awful thing that can happen to a person.

The problem of hijacking a plane is the strong possibility that people die and the enormous economic damage it causes to the airline.

Burglary with violence is serious because the people feel safe in their homes.  Finding strangers into our homes is awful and people feel that they stole your privacy.

In summary, any crime is despicable and I think that government authorities should put strong hand to stop the crimes and punish criminals.

Dido - See the Sun lyrics

See the Sun

Dido

I'm comin' 'round to open the blinds
You can't hide here any longer
My God you need to rinse those puffy eyes
You can't last here any longer

And yes they'll ask you where you've been
And you'll have to tell them again and again

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
Well I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again

Come on take my hand
We're going for a walk, I know you can
You can wear anything as long as it's not black
Please don't mourn forever
She's not coming back

And yes they'll ask you where you've been
And you'll have to tell them again and again

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
Well I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again
And I promise you you'll see the sun again

Do you remember telling me you found the sweetest thing of all
You said one day this was worth dying for
So be thankful you knew her at all
But it's no more

And you probably don't want to hear tomorrow's another day
Well I promise you you'll see the sun again
And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again
And I promise you you'll see the sun again 

And I promise you you'll see the sun again
And I promise you you'll see the sun again
I promise you you'll see the sun again

See the sun again
See the sun again
See the sun again
See the sun again

See the sun again
See the sun again
See the sun again
See the sun again 

Comments:

I really liked this song by its rhythm and lyrics are mesmerizing. The singer has a great voice.

This song is about a young man who lost a love and not want to continue with his life.


The phrase that says "see the sun again" refers to that life must continue and must stand up and move on.

The expression "open the blinds" could refer to open the eyes.

And one of the most impressive phrases is:

"And you're asking me why pain's the only way to happiness
And I promise you you'll see the sun again".

Really, no matter the pain that we have, this too shall pass and better days are ahead, and we'll see the sun again.

Thanks.

Savage Garden - Affirmation (with lyrics)

Affirmation Lyrics
Savage Garden

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse tv evangelists

I believe in love surviving death into eternity
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye(Repeat 2)
Until you say goodbye
Oh no no no no no ( Repeats itself many times fading)

Awesome!

Everything that I believe is in this song.

I like so much that every sentence starts with "I believe".

I believe the lyrics in the parte that say "I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness" not is true. Maybe it should say happiness, not unhappines, because if not the rest of the song have not sense.

The law of karma is the law that links in a wise and intelligent manner the effect with its cause. Everything good or bad that we have done in any of our lives will bring good or bad consequences for this or coming existences. We should not forget the Christian proverbs: "the one who sows rays will reap storms"; "with the stick that you measure others, you will be measured", "eye for one eye" and "the one who by iron kills, by iron dies".

I believe in the law of karma and I believe that, in the heaven or in the earth, everything is paid.

NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE

I like this article because it is related with the topic of the last class about crimes.

This article refers to two powerful bombs that were found in two cargo planes and they were destined to the United States.

These bombs were shipped from Yemen in two different airplanes and were intercepted in Britain and Dubai.

It is very disturbing to know that terrorists are always trying to attack other countries like the United States.

Many innocent people could die if the bombs explode inside the plane or in their final destination.

After the 911 attacks, air travel is a great risk to people.  The aviation world changed dramatically.

I think that terrorism is the most dirty and cowardly crime that exists, because the terrorists kill in a single event a lot of innocent people who have not chance to defend themselves. It's a very planned and bloody crime.

The world has changed since the 911 attack, and apparently will never be the same as before.

Thanks a lot.
