Fix You or Fix Me
Recently a K-pop group re-sang this song , Fix You, formerly a hit by Coldplay and hit millions of views on Youtube.
The K-pop singer started with the first few lyrics and immediately I thought it was an immediate flop. Why so? The singer failed to pronounce "succeed" successfully. I wonder what the members of Coldplay would have thought of that.
The song, Fix You, was released in 2005 and now it takes on a K-pop tone which can bring applause or shivers to listeners alike. You can like it because you thought it was really good because a famous K-pop group sang it or you can like it because it was really bad.
In my opinion, that K-pop group could have worked more to "fix" their diction before they even attempted singing that song by the Brits. Somehow I suspect, the K-pop members probably did not know what those English words meant, let alone perfecting the diction.
If you are a world wide sensation, would it occur to you that all areas need to be covered if you are singing a rendition of Coldplay's earlier released song. It seems ironical that the diction was not appropriately fixed when attempting to re-sing "Fix You".
This brings me to talk about "fixing" today. Do you see that most of us have the habit of wanting to "fix you" rather than "fix me".
The majority of us love to thrust our preferences and habits on other people. What do I mean?
Everyday, we like to dictate people to follow us. We say things like. "you should do this and you should do that".
Parents tell their kids that they should study. Lovers tell their partners that they should love him or her more. Fitness centres market their fitness programmes to remind you that you should exercise more. Campaigns remind you that you should smoke less or drink less. Even the fake gurus on Youtube ads tell you that you should invest your monies with them or you should use their sure way of drinking juices and lose weight.
The real world and virtual world all want to "fix you". If you are lost or are easily influenced by all that "marketing talk" or "fake wisdom", you become entrapped by it.
So how do you prevent yourself from falling into this bottomless pit of "fix you" stupor?
I recommend that you can start having these 2 simple words, "FIX ME" in your daily vocabulary and be aware of "fixing me".
Fix the "Me" portion first and others will not be able to want to "fix you." This "fix you" notion is mostly caused by a narcissistic self image and self entitlement. The self strongly believes that the world revolves and evolves around it. Thus the self becomes increasingly important.
If you look at this Cosmic Eye, your view about the self will change.
It changed mine and I started with "Fix Me" as I am worth it.
