Here's what struck me first...

Andy Dufresne: ... there are places in this world that aren't made out of stone. That there's something inside... that they can't get to, that they can't touch. That's yours

Ellis Redding: What're you talking about?

Andy Dufresne: Hope.

Years later, Ellis Redding thought of his dear friend....

"I have to remind myself
that some birds aren't meant to be caged, that's all.

Their feathers are just too bright
and when they fly away,
the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice...

but still, the place you live
is that much more drab and empty that they're gone"

Imagine

Yesterday, I was talking about not 'dividing' the Indian anymore. Previously, I have also talked about how vested interests have always pandered to religion and invoked history to justify the creation of laws and institutions whose sole purpose, visibly, was to emancipate the suppressed, but in reality was to divide people so can the vested interests would be able to maintain their strangledhold on power - power not just over our lives, but power over our dreams too.

Today I found this : Zeitgeist

Lennon's words are not just beautiful spraking with a mystic hope, but are more poignant than ever before.

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
