Kidding

A figure dressed in the finest attire
That money can buy
Laiden with assets to make an impression
On a stranger's eye

And he lives in a palace

Surrounded by roses in a perfect picture
He's in deep with the shallow
He's fading cause he can't see the sky

Who are you kidding mister?

I can give you everything
Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you anything
Who are you kidding mister?
I'm so happy that i could sing, yeah
Nobody, you're kidding nobody
Nobody but you

A dinner with twenty people you hate

And they're hating you more
Talking politely, it's all a show
Tell me what is it for?

And your laugh is tale-telling

They follow but you know you're not a funny man
The truth is the meaning
And your life is that you wouldn't have one
If you were poor

Yeah. . .

Such a shame, sir
Such a shame
 

Who are you kidding mister?
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody but yourself


This is one of my favorites Imogen Heap's song.
Born and raised as a 'middle class' always keep me thinking about how the 'upper class' surviving their life. They have anything I didn't have, well I might have things they didn't but lets keep this real.
After I remember Jessie J price tag song and watch some Michael Sandel's philosophy courses from Harvard. That revelation moment come.
Most part of the human being have put a price tag in their life, it is a reality that every born babies have to take that a milk that they must consume, clothes to keep them warm, a doctor that help on the give birth process, had a price. If their parents simply cannot afford them all, in order unable to comply the price, then they could just die. Price, is what human should pay to survive.
The concept of price itself didn't teased my morality value. Some effort must be released for survive, like, hunt out for food maybe. But how the price could replace the presence of life is a different thing, how a number could possibly replace anything is a crazy concept people compliance for.
Take a look at your own life now, imagine if all of your money was burnt into the ashes, so is your gadget, your nice clothes and shoes, your cars, zero saving accounts, what else you still have? Are you sure you still have friends? Are you still have an inner circle you used to in? If this question put you in a doubt, maybe you could start to stop putting a price tag in life. Leave the illusion before there is no any remain but regret.

Yeah sorry for blabber around. I just try to say that, what I want to reach
 is a real valuable life.
