There's always the temptation to over-think stuff. I get it a lot, but I've learned, gradually to switch it off. It's bloody annoying when the little Beth in my brain is like: "Yo, Beth, wanna contemplate shit? What if there's no afterlife? WAIT! What if there IS an afterlife! :o"
I hate Little Beth. Shut up Little Beth. It makes me feel all intellectual when I'm having an attack of the Ponders, but then I realise that there's no point in contemplating life the universe and everything, because after a while I'd go insane.
Insane=Not good
Sane=Good.
If you become to wrapped up in thoughts, you then become self obsessed. Yeah, I know human nature is to be selfish, but fuck it! I'm going to stick with the values that Disney/society has conditioned me to believe in!
Always remember, if in doubt:
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
How high will the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
We need to paint with all the colours of the wind
You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colours of the wind
If this doesn't work, you can always use the fact that the word 'brothers' in the first line of the second verse can be very easily substituted for 'Bum Chums' for easy lols and for minimal effort.
