It's a bittersweet life

Perhaps it's just because it's late. Perhaps it's because the song has sentimental ties. But the line "you make some money, then you die" has always resonated with me. Song being: Bittersweet Symppony http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx3m4e45bTo -- It's like our capitalistic system is grinding us down, driving our virtues to a simple matter of "well, did you make some money?" It saddens me, everytime I hear it. Yet, I count it among my favorite songs. I think because it speaks the truth, and, as you, my loyal readers know, I appreciate the truth. True, that we are driven by unaccountable forces. True, that the system is NOT fair. True, that those that deserve not are sometimes -- oftentimes-- rewarded.

I believe that is enough for a sad late night posting, don't you?
Happy Easter, all!
