Just Plain Carless: Careless Whisper By Wham



As I have stated before, I hate making mistakes because of the consequences that they carry. You'll be lucky if you're forgiven after a slap in the wrist for doing something careless, but there are some things that can really mark you for the rest of your life. What's worst is when we loose someone very dear to us because we let our own hormones cloud our better judgment. One song that really embodies the consequences of being careless is Wham's "Careless Whisper".

I was never a fan of this song but it bests describes what happens when you're caught in the act and realize that it's too late to make things right. Some people have it all, including a spouse who's fidelity is unquestionable. But what do they do, they play around and when they get caught in the act, the whole house comes tumbling down. As always, it's always in the end that one regrets one's actions. I guess they don't realize what they have until it's gone.

These days this song has gained new notoriety for being used in a video between a rising young female star and a doctor a skin clinic which has now ended up in court. Boy, these people knew what they were getting into but they still did it and now not only they but the people around them are in deep crap. Well, this is what happens when you don't think period. Well as Mr. Miyagi said in the Karate Kid II, "Never put passion before principle. Even if win, you lose!" In the end, if anyone ever falls into this trap, I can say that they were both careless and stupid to boot!
