In grammar class the teacher asks her student 'When you sing you say 'I sing' what do you say when your brother is singing? I say 'shut up you're a terrible singer'.
You and I are flesh and blood. I'm always going to be there for you; even if it's only as an obstacle for you to overcome. Even if you do hate me. That's what big brothers are for.
It takes the night to make it dawns And takes a day to make you yawn, brother It takes some old to make you young It takes some cold to know the sun It takes the one to have the other
And it takes no time to fall in love But it takes you years to know what Love is It takes some fears to make you trust It takes those tears to make it rust It takes some dust to have it polish
George Orwell's Buch "1984" wäre heute eine verbotene Internet Reportage mit dem Slogan "Big Brother(s!) are watching you!",
der große Bruder: ein (unsichtbarer) Superinvestor. das Ministerium für Wahrheit: Google, das Ministerium für Liebe: Facebook. das Ministerium für Frieden: das amerikanische Heimatministerium, das Ministerium für Überfluss/Überfülle: die Fusion von Microsoft & Apple,
Und (fast) alle wären so glücklich wie die Menschen in Orwell's Buch...
But all individuals are different. Some of us just wouldn't be satisfied with just carrying out a routine job and being happy. Yet I envied those people. I had a brother who I really envied because he was a mailman. But he's the one that had all the fun. He had himself a trailer, and he used to go out and go fishing, and he didn't worry about payrolls and stories and picture grosses or anything.
The President in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land. But how can you buy or sell the sky? The land? The idea is strange to us. Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every meadow, all are holy in memory and experience of my people. We are part of the earth and it is part of us. The perfumed flowers are our sisters. The bear, the deer, the great eagle, these are our brothers. Each ghostly reflection in the clear water of the lakes tells of events and memories in the life of my people. The water's murmur is the voice of my father's father. If we sell our land, you must never forget that it is sacred.

The men who learn endurance, are they who call the whole world brother.

Die Ironie ist die Mutter der Witze; Humor, Big Brother watching her; der Sarkasmus halbstarker Neffe; die Satire aufbäumendes Kalkül; die Pointe ihr (gem)einsamer Glücksfall; die Taktlosigkeit das makabere Enfant Terrible des Ganzen; und bleibender Zynismus die bedingte Kapitulation.
