Yes, I know, this isn’t very “keep calm,” but reading that even Brian May can’t sleep at night made me feel a bit less alienated from.
During an interview for the presentation of the book Islands in Infinity: Galaxies in 3-D back on Radio Times, Brian May spoke candidly, expressing a state of mind that I personally identify with.
“I feel despondent about the world of humans.”
“It keeps me awake at night. The cruelty, the ignorance, the lies, the rewriting of history. I think an understanding and love of art and music make it impossible to be the kind of person who wants to go out and be cruel to others.”
I would say that’s something to think about.
Are we living in an age of emptiness? Of a lack of understanding and love for art in all its forms?
I don’t know, but it’s clear that we are more inclined towards destruction than creation.
“There’s so much suffering in the world, why would we want to add to it?”
That’s a great question.
Why?
Why not say enough is enough?
“We’ve lost the ability to discuss things and respect other people’s point of view, we have a horrendous polarisation.”
Polarization, and I would add chronic forms of individualism and selfishness.
“If people spent more time looking at the stars and making music, none of this would be possible.”
Unfortunately, yes, but you know that I care deeply about the concept of seeing the stars again.
And you? Do you sleep at night?
