(I just didn't want to quote everything, including my own quotes again)
As for Mr. Simple, I thought it had to do with lifting up... or something that sounds less religiously ( XD sorry, I got that from my brother.) Simplicity. As in, the Korean nation (as well as other nations, including the US) was getting so used to technology (especially the younger generation) that they were forgetting how to live a simple life, which is, in my opinion, important for health. Being able to just relax and do only 1 thing, or nothing at all, is important. I think I was corrected as to the meaning of the song by reading the English translation of the lyrics, though. I'd have to check back sometime to see what they might actually mean. Just checked, and actually, I was right. It is pretty much telling people to "live a simpler life", or at least "chill". To slow down and take it easy. Basically we're in an annoying world, and we need to know to let ourselves release the tension. They say to do a few things, which some of which I don't appreciate, but basically, have fun and relax. You can sing a song to blow off some steam.
Again, in case someone reads this and they don't read my previous posts: I'm not trying to get political.
Oh, yeah. I also like the bouncy voice parts of Mr. Simple, and the droning parts. Droning sounds funny at times (not here) and interesting and dramatic in places (here). Plus I like the whole Asian thing about ending a sentence then starting a new one quickly. As apposed to waiting a second or so before starting the new sentence.
Have faith
-From somewhere in the Bible, and I agree with it
-God will only give you what you can take. He will not overwhelm you.
-From somewhere in the Bible
-Your faith becomes stronger when it's tested.
-I saw a Chinese guy with a cross on his restaurant desk in America. That's so cool. You can do that here. Not so much China.
I've recently been learning that I don't need to be "loud and pushy" to Evangelize; just living it out is enough witness. The problem was that I grew up around strong Evangelists (Korean Christians) and they were really into getting people involved and setting out to Evangelize, and me being a a yes-man (or yes woman) I was into trying to convert people.
I've been learning this lesson over the years, but have been trying to be pushy. Now I'm trying to ease off.
