Simple living

For some days when I see certain things happening in the world,I miss the people like Bob Marley and I think to myself,what Bob would have done....Bob would have done the simplest thing without harming or hurting anyone.
Such is the wisdom of the man,that I adore his teachings and way of his life more than his music, but dont get me wrong, he makes reall good music and it still plays with so much of wisdom in it.


The english he spoke confused many, a famous instance is the song No Woman No Cry which has many thinking that guys shouldnt cry if there is no woman.I have come across such mis-intepretations in many many of his songs.No Woman No Cry is a simple message from Bob to the women of Jamaica not to cry,and evertything is going to be alright...he sings it with love and peace.So much win compared to most of todays artiste that sing about shits like fireworks,price tags and meaningless words like singing ayer,ayo...wtf.


Another song which has deep meaning is Buffalo Soldier, the lyrics depicts the mis-treatment of Africans in the Western world, from what Ive read in his biography,Bob Marley was just an ordinary man,who lived simple,showed love and respect,fought for freedom and gave soo much of simple wisdom to us in such a way we wish to listen eventhough we know already what he is saying.


Having said that, I wish there would be many more living the way Bob had.


Love and peace
