Offer

Hoje recebi um email de uma grande amiga minha que me remeteu para este vídeo da Alanis Morissette... Faz todo o sentido em qualquer época do ano, mas nesta é especialmente forte, pela mensagem que transmite a todos nós!!!


É muito bom perceber que os grandes artistas continuam a preocupar-se com os demais, chamando à atenção do que nos rodeia!!!

Thank you very, very, very much Alanis, and keep on the good work!

And for all of us, keep on fighting against this society who dares to destroy human life, no matter what... We have to take back the power to the all of the human race!!!!

P.S. "Who
Who am I to be blue
Look at my family and fortune
Look at my friends and my house

Who
Who am I to feel deadend
Who am I to feel spent
Look at my health and my money

And where
Where do I go to feel good
Why do I still look outside me
When clearly I’ve seen it won’t work

Is it my calling to keep on when I’m unable
And is it my job to be selfless extraordinary
And my generosity has me disabled
By this my sense of duty to offer

And why
Why do I feel so ungrateful
Me who is far beyond survival
Me who see life as an oyster

Is it my calling to keep on when I’m unable
And is it my job to be selfless extraodinary
And my generosity has me disabled
By this my sense of duty to offer

And how
How dare I rest on my laurels
How dare I ignore an outstretched hand
How dare I ignore a third world country

Is it my calling to keep on when I’m unable
And is it my job to be selfless extraodinairy
And my generosity has me disabled
By this my sense of duty to offer

Who
Who am I to be woo "

  2. É um vídeo que mostro aos maus alunos, para que eles agradeçam um pouco aquilo que já têm e não estejam sempre a queixar-se... Claro que isto se aplica a todos nós!!!!

    Belas palavras as do Miller e veras!
