Há dois tipos de pessoas: os idiotas, e os que perceberam que são idiotas.

No primeiro time, estão as pessoas mais felizes: elas vivem naquele mundo nelas, como hamsters ou chipanzés. Tudo o que faz parte de suas vidas é certo: o Sol é certo, a cenourinha é certa, a chuva é certa^*. O que importa já é conhecido, e o resto de suas vidas já está traçada.

No segundo time, estão os infelizes que morderam o fruto da árvore da sabedoria, e agora sabem a diferença entre o certo e o errado. Eles perceberam que somos todos idiotas, e que acreditamos em idiotices para amenizar a insegurança inerente da existência.

...

Mas essa teoria está longe de estar fechada, e de ser definitiva. A dizer a verdade, isto aqui é notícia velha. Really old news. Mas, ei!, que importa? Eu estou me sentindo em 1996 outra vez.

* Até o dia em que o "certo" falha e o chão some de debaixo dos pés. Mas quem se importa com hamsters? A Mãe-Natureza certamente não.

classificado como Ficção, vai ser Atualidades..."

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

The Cranberries - Animal Instinct Lyrics

Suddenly something has happened to me
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry
Do you know you made me die

And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing, the animal
The animal instinct

So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no
They will never make me die

And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt

The animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal, it's the animal instinct in me
[x2]
