Saw the MTV for Phil Collin's Another Day in Paradise.. it was a hit during our times. A distant past? Yeah, ask the teenagers nowadays and they will most probably scratch their head.. Who? What?
It is a meaningful song, written to bring attention to the problem of homelessness all around the world. It was released to critical acclaim and a huge hit back then.
Paradise.. what exactly is it?
Paradise is a place in which existence is positive, harmonious and timeless. It is conceptually a counter-image of the miseries of human civilization, and in paradise there is only peace, prosperity, and happiness. Paradise is a place of contentment, but it is not necessarily a land of luxury and idleness. (source: wikipedia)
To some, paradise is a distant dream, a pursuit often interrupted by the daily rigours of life.
To me, true to wikipedia's definition, it simply, is a place of contentment, but not necessarily a land of luxury and idleness.. every word of it. And this place is also not necessarily Utopia or somewhere in the distant lands... it's just right under our nose.. Home.. where we share joy, laughter, love and simple pleasures in life with our loved ones. I know I have been there, with you right by my side.
To you? I do hope you're residing in paradise.. a place in which existence is positive, harmonious and timeless.. a place where there is only peace, prosperity and happiness. One day, another day, more days.. forever more days.
