Isn't It A Pity

 "Isn't it a pity, now isn't it a shame, how we break each other's hearts, and cause each other pain, how we take each other's love without thinking anymore, forgetting to give back, isn't it a pity.

Some things take so long, but how do I explain, when not too many people can see we're all the same, and because of all their tears, their eyes can't hope to see, the beauty that surrounds them, isn't it a pity."

Lyrics from Isn't It A Pity, by George Harrison.

"when not too many people can see we're all the same, and because of their tears, their eyes can't hope to see, the beauty that surrounds them." He may as well have written that song in 2022.

We are so fucking petty. Clawing at each other's throats, spitting venom at each other and forgetting that we are all in the same fucking boat. We are all trying to make a living, and find some meaningful way to be happy, no matter how small that happiness might be.

I spit venom with the best of them. I actually enjoy it. Feels like self-defense to me - if I project love, my eyes will be clawed out. Of course the other guy might be thinking the same thing.

"Birth, School, Work, Death" by The Godfathers. That's all there is, baby - you'd think we'd be smart enough to find a way through it with empathy. We have never shown an ability to do so.

John Lennon and Paul McCartney were dictators. They would limit the number of George's songs allowed on each album. The justification was that John and Paul were considered better writers. I don't know about that, but I do know that:

The Beatles officially broke up in April of 1970. In November of 1970, George released All Things Must Pass - a triple album. A beautiful album.

Songs included: My Sweet Lord, What Is Life, If Not For You, All Things Must Pass, Beware of Darkness and...................... Isn't It A Pity.

George Harrison was a beautiful man.
