Is ons mens of is ons danser?

Het dit al met julle ook gebeur?

Jy is oppad om te gaan kuideniersware inkopies doen. Enkele oomblikke voordat jy jou kar in die parkeerruimte parker begin jou gunsteling liedjie op die radio speel. Nou parkeer jy wel jou kar mooi netjies, maar instede daarvan om so vinnig as moontlik uit te klim en die saak agter die rug te kry, leun jy terug in jou sitplek en stel daardie radio lekker hard.

So terwyl die motorwag jou met so vraagteken aankyk, luister jy na daardie killer-liedjie en besin oor of jy ‘n mens is en of jy ‘n danser is en jy voel lewendig; jy wag, spreekwoordelik op jou kneë, vir die antwoorde; jy stuur groete aan al die goeie menslike eienskappe; en … in die postmoderne megelmoes van gedagtes wat deesdae oor die media vloei, ervaar jy ‘n oomblik van onverklaarbare vreugde.

Wanneer die laaste note wegsterf draai jy weer die radio af na beskaafbare vlakke vooodat jy dit afskakel, uit die kar klim en die motorwag met ‘n glimlag groet.

… of is dit net ek?

NS: As jy dalk ook lus is om oor die saak te besin …

The Killers – Human

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart…
Cut the cord

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I’m on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance,
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye
Wish me well..
You’ve gotta let me go

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I’m on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we’re receiving
Let me know is your heart still beating

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I’m on my knees
Looking for the answer

You’ve gotta let me know

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I’m on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human
Or are we dancer?

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Are we human
Or are we dancer?
