The most distressing thing that can happen to a prophet is to be proved wrong. The next most distressing thing is to be proved right.

Get On The Right Thing
All at once you get love on your mind
And your world is as kind as a penny
Oh.... and you knew it all along / you did the right thing
Believe me its true / and it can happen to you
All at once you get sound in your ears
And your cloud disappears into yellow
Well you know they were were wrong
Get on the right thing / well you knew it all along
Get on the right thing
Believe me its so / because I happen to know
Try a little love, you cant go wrong
Get on the right thing (repeat twice)
My little love you cant go wrong
Get on the right thing / get on the right thing
Get on tee right thing do / get on the right thing you
All at once we see things in our skies
And we both realize it together
Well you know they were wrong

Get on the right thing / believe me its so
Because I happen to know / you cant go wrong

Try a little love, you cant go wrong
Get on the right thing etc.

I think the smartest thing for people to do to manage very distressing emotions is to take a medication if it helps, but don't do only that. You also need to train your mind.

She's Got You
I've got your picture
That you gave to me
And it's signed with love
Just like it used to be
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got yur picture
She's got you
I've got the records
That we used to share
And they still sound the same
As when you were here
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got the records
She's got you
I've got your memory I really don't know but I know
It won't let me be
I've got your class ring
That proved you cared
And it still looks the same
As when you gave it dear
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got these little things
She's got you
I've got your memory
Or has it got me?
I really don't know but I know
It won't let me be
I've got your class ring
That proved you cared
And it still looks the same
As when you gave it dear
The only thing different
The only thing new
I've got these little things
She's got you
I've got these little things
She's got you

But certainly the laser proved to be what I realized it was going to be. At that moment in my life I was too ignorant in business law to be able to do it right, and if I did it over again probably the same damn thing would happen.

Everything I eat has been proved by some doctor or other to be a deadly poison, and everything I don't eat has been proved to be indispensable for life. But I go marching on.

Too Much Of A Good Thing
Smiles in the morning
As warm as sunshine
Kisses when I lay down at night
And 2 loving arms
To console me
I should be scared, it's so right
But, too much of a good thing
Is a good thing
Feelings like this can't be wrong
And, too much of a good thing
Is a good thing
And we've got a good thing going on
You look in my eyes
And see my thinkin'
I know when you're happy, when you're sad
Someone said
It's too perfect
But, I don't think what we have is so bad
Cause, too much of a good thing
Is a good thing
Feelings like this can't be wrong
And, too much of a good thing
Is a good thing
And we've got a good thing going on
And we've got a good thing going on

Nothing Is Permanent
Nothing stays here as permanent
Beautiful to feel for those lovely moments
Whether you can look fool or otherwise
You are one of the most lovely and really
If those events turn as past like thing
No one should be blamed for something
You did not extend your arms in anticipation
There was then abrupt end of the relation
Those hands were raised to reassure
There were to be proved later on as treasure
You lacked zeal for pleasure
You went for artificial joy to measure
The dark clouds were about to downpour
It was silver metallic spray in form of shower
The thunder and lightening blurred your vision
You were hurried back in confusion
The divine love was turned back
There was sudden rupture or crack
You lost the chance for no fault
It served as painful somersault
Who knows why did it happen?
Was it ego or heart was driven?
Certainly it proved me stupid
As I had lost the main lead
As I sit in corner of house
It does only passion to rouse
Memories rush in with all the sequences
As if serving the final sad sentences

Sonnet- Life Is Flexible
It is not wrong to make mistakes often;
It is not wrong to do blunders in life;
It is not wrong to see mishaps happen;
It is not wrong to panic 'midst your strife.
It is not wrong to be lazy some days;
It is not wrong to make decisions wrong;
It is not wrong to squander wealth some ways;
It is not wrong to love a thing for long.
It is not wrong to come late while bell chimes,
It is not wrong to selfish be, at times;
It is not wrong to envy some sometimes;
It is not wrong to sin too many times.
It is not wrong to err where others don't;
'Tis wrong to feel guilty when others won't.

Best Of the Rest [Collaboration with Stembeni Moyo]
Among them all,
You have proved to be the best,
Your touch so warm and tender,
Your presence so electrifying,
To see you again I always anticipated
Among them all
You have proved to be the best
Among them all,
Perfection beyond reasonable doubt,
The silence that comes across,
Your breath so close and pure,
Your absence so painful and hurting,
And to meet again I always cogitated
Above them all,
I will always make you come first
To always hear, never fear
Always there to wipe a tear
In my heart you are so dear
Losing you, I cannot bear
To share and to care
This I promise
Among them all,
You have proved to be the best
To always love and be sincere,
Always there to stay so near
In my heart I have no fear
Having you I always desire
To love and admire
This I cherish,
Among them all,
I will always make you come first

I was very pleased you know, and I was afraid that I might stick out, but I didn't. My happiest thing about that picture is that I proved that American actors can speak as well and also fit in with an ensemble like that.

A thing is not proved just because no one has ever questioned it. What has never been gone into impartially has never been properly gone into. Hence scepticism is the first step toward truth. It must be applied generally, because it is the touchstone.
