Thinking Perspective Tragedy

More From Eli Roth

What is missing in a lot of urban music is perspective. you hear a lot of regurgitated perspective. it's a lot of: out at the club. had drinks. patrón. big booties. it's this regurgitated idea of living in this, i don't know, one-night-stand moment that always starts at the club and patrón. and so perspective, perspective, perspective is what i'm an advocate of.

I have always felt comedy and tragedy are roommates. if you look up comedy and tragedy, you will find a very old picture of two masks. one mask is tragedy. it looks like its crying. the other mask is comedy. it looks like its laughing. nowadays, we would say, how tasteless and insensitive. a comedy mask is laughing at a tragedy mask.
Two Laughing Tragedy
There is a warning. the path of god-exalting joy will cost you your life. jesus said, “whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it.” in other words, it is better to lose your life than to waste it. if you live gladly to make others glad in god, your life will be hard, your risks will be high, and your joy will be full. this is not a book about how to avoid a wounded life, but how to avoid a wasted life. some of you will die in the service of christ. that will not be a tragedy. treasuring life above christ is a tragedy.

I think things are imploding on the democrats, and i actually think this is one of the reasons why the media is so desperate, because despite all the minutia and detail here, in the real world, the things the democrat party believes in are failing all over the world, not just here in the united states. the obama administration was an economic disaster, was an economic failure. liberalism, socialism around the world is imploding.

Scolding must be very, very fun, otherwise children would be allowed to do it. it is not because children don’t have what it takes to scold. you need only three things, really. you need time, to think up scolding things to say. you need effort, to put these scolding things in a good order, so that the scolding can be more and more insulting to the person being scolded. and you need chutzpah, which is a word for the sort of show-offy courage it takes to stand in front of someone and give them a good scolding, particularly if they are exhausted and sore and not in the mood to hear it.
Children Fun Thinking
I remind myself that the universe is 15 billion years old, and i'm only 46 years old, so my perspective is sort of limited and fear-based and skewed. so i sort of turn things over to whatever you want to call it - whether it's god, or the universe or the spirit of the universe - and i just sort of turn things over to god and hope that this spirit that has been around for 15 billion years will have a better understanding of how things should be than i do.

When you go through a significant injury and have a major career change, you truly do go one year at a time, and you don't look past what's going on now, because you are not sure what's going to happen. tomorrow is not promised.

The way we eat has changed more in the last 50 years than in the previous 10,000…. now our food is coming from enormous assembly lines where the animals and the workers are being abused, and the food has become much more dangerous in ways that are deliberately hidden from us. this isn’t just about what we’re eating. it’s about what we’re allowed to say. what we’re allowed to know.
