This song making a comeback was a bit surreal.
Iris was the first song I knew as a kid that wasn't on a "kid's cd", was like 4/5yo.
My cat did not like spinning in circles with me but she tolerated it. 😅
"So, Spongebob ok, Spongebob lives in a pineapple under the sea. Ok? You've heard of apples, well this is a PINEapple.
A pineapple, ok?

A rancher's dog found a missing 2 year old boy in the Arizona wilderness and led him to safety.

The modern world celebrates the primacy of the individual.
An individual with individual rights.
An individual pursuing individual happiness.
An individual responsible only to himself.
But an individual is atomised.
An individual is isolated.
An individual is unmoored, and unrestrained.
An individual stands alone, disconnected from the past, disassociated from the present, and detached from the future.
But you are not an individual.
You are a person.
You are a person made in the image and likeness of God.
A person lives in relationship.
A person belongs.
A person has obligations to others.
A person has responsibilities.
To his faith.
To his fatherland.
To his family.
To his forefathers.
To his future.
Every blessing creates an obligation.
Every privilege demands gratitude.
A person speaks truth, goodness, and beauty.
An individual lives for himself.
A person lives for others.
An individual receives.
A person sacrifices.
An individual speaks of rights.
A person speaks of justice.
An individual asks, “What am I owed?”
But a person asks, “What is required of me?”
All of the accomplishments the West has made in the last three centuries are owing to the civilisational inertia created by Christianity in general and the Catholic Church in particular.
The West continued to be great in spite of its apostasy following the so-called Enlightenment, not because of it.
