George Carlin, who has been performing for half a century, has just turned 70. For five decades the Grammy award-winning comedian, actor, and author has been making audiences laugh and think with his salty, provocative style of stand-up comedy.
In this wOw show, he has explained how "a Modern Man" would look like in an amazing way, a way Darwin, Voltaire, Foucault, Spinoza, Strauss, Kant, Goethe, Heidegger, Derrida, or even Nietzsche can't stand…

Does it realy take a moment... to change?

Sometimes, I get this feeling... I'm so close to change... so close to starting the journey... I see the path... right beneath my feet... but, still... don't know why I'm not walking... am I realy standing still???

I have a question though,

there was this guy... that was trying to climb a mountain... every time he tried... he fell to the ground... untill this one time... he fell... but while falling... he SAW... he saw the part... he never saw before... and he grabbed on hard... so he didn't fall all the way down... but he's hurt... cuz he fell... he still doesn't know how to overcome this sharp edge... but at least he knows it's there... should he be happy for the step forward - relatively speaknig to how he used to be -? or should he be sad for his fall?

Anywaz, here's a song I ran into... think it kinda answers the question...so neet ... so inspiring.. so hopeul .. but... Does it realy take a moment to change????????

Fly

In a moment, everything can change,

Feel the wind on your shoulder,

For a minute, all the world can wait,

Let go of your yesterday.

Can you hear it calling?

Can you feel it in your soul?

Can you trust this longing?

And take control,

Fly

Open up the part of you that wants to hide away

You can shine,

Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,

And start to try,

cause it's your time,

Time to fly.

All your worries, leave them somewhere else,

Find a dream you can follow,

Reach for something, when there's nothing left,

And the world's feeling hollow.

Can you hear it calling?

Can you feel it in your soul?

Can you trust this longing?

And take control,

Fly

Open up the part of you that wants to hide away

You can shine,

Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,

And start to try,

cause it's your time,

Time to fly.

And when you're down and feel alone,

Just want to run away,

Trust yourself and don't give up,

You know you better than anyone else,

In a moment, everything can change,

Feel the wind on your shoulder,

For a minute, all the world can wait,

Let go of yesterday,

Fly

Open up the part of you that wants to hide away

You can shine,

Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,

And start to try,

Fly

Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,

And start to try,

cause it's your time,

Time to fly.

In a moment, everything can change.
