Is the quest for inner peace not a selfish thing?
What right do I have to be tranquil while others are in torment?
When I meditate, am I truly "exercising my spiritual muscles", or am I simply sitting on my fat posterior with a smug, superior look on my face while the world burns around me?
This is fine.
Yeah, this is fine.
Let the world burn.
'Cause I've got mine.
Yeah, this is fine.
Let the world burn.
'Cause I've got mine.
Is that what I've really been doing when I meditate? When I pray? When I center myself? When I visualize? Have I just been hiding from the chaos of this world, wrapped snugly in my own little cocoon of blissful serenity?
Serenity... or willful ignorance?
It's still burning.
Oh, it's fine.
Let it crumble and fall.
'Cause I've got mine.
Oh, it's fine.
Let it crumble and fall.
'Cause I've got mine.
Or, rather, has the time I have spent in this "selfish" pursuit of tranquility given me the strength and the resolve to try and alleviate the suffering of others from that chaos in whatever way that I can?
The world is still burning.
It's neither fair nor fine.
But if you need some peace
You can have some of mine.
