Discussion»Questions»Communication» You know what people tell you is true. Would you like to know what they REALLY think about you? Is ignorance bliss sometimes? When?
I know what people mostly think. I don't care. I really have grown way past such nonsense. Yes, people's opinions can block one's progress, but we all have to get STONED that way by the public's opinion of us. It is inevitable. If you are beautiful, there is jealoousy. If you are wise, there are opposers who feel threatened by that. If you are nice, you get stepped on.
Everybody must get stoned. So the best evidence of a good person, is have a pure heart and look in the mirror and smile at the only creation you have any control over.
BOB DYLAN
Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone Everybody must get stoned
Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door
But I would not feel so all alone Everybody must get stoned
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table They'll stone ya when you are young and able They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to make a buck They'll stone ya and then they'll say, "Good luck"
Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone Everybody must get stoned
Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again They'll stone you when you're riding in your car They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone Everybody must get stoned
Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone They'll stone you when you are walking home They'll stone you and then say you are brave They'll stone you when you are set down in your grave
But I would not feel so all alone Everybody must get stoned

I'm not a Bob Dylan fan Shar. I am unfamiliar with those lyrics. Very dark. I kinda disagree. I don't feel that I have been stoned. I don't feel deprived because of it. Has my life been perfect? No. I am grateful for it? Yes . Thank you for your reply! :)
