Oh, yeah. I was an existentialist before I knew there was a word for what it was, I think. (I still want to hit bloody Sartre, the one existentialist writer I've ever read, but that's another rant). Choices give your life meaning, or lack thereof, and there are always choices. Not necessarily pleasant ones, but always choices. (And why am I compelled to state the obvious?)
At this time of year, 'round here, you'd never think that there were people who weren't following the tune of the majority. Time of year when the churches fill up with the lapsed Catholics, and I start thinking too much on the nature of belief. The believers standing up and giving witness for their faith... It's only fair that others do them same, right? :-)
that song happens to be my favorite of all Clannad songs
I like it too, though I think I prefer Óró, perhaps, or Memories. Óró would be pushing for my favorite Irish-language song, at least. :-)
