Fortunate One Lyrics

“It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no senator’s son, son
It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no fortunate one, no

some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don’t they help themselves, oh
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord
And when you ask them, “How much should we give?”
Ooh, they only answer “More! More! More!”

it ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no military son, son
It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no fortunate one, one”

So what’s the less fortunate to do in a world that is inherently unfair? What would make them happy at the end of the day?

Incessant use of “Fortunate Son”

Individual Freedom

Individual freedom, combined with other elements like rationalism in all sectors of life, notably religion, founded by Hellenistic philosophy, is what Western civilization believes would keep these ‘commoners’ happy. This includes the following:
 

Absence of Restraint

Individual liberty is defined as the absence of constraints on our ability to think and act for oneself. Individual accountability is automatically attached to it.
Individual liberty was later entrenched in the western world in the 18th century.

The Individual freedom was subsequently institutionalized in the 18 century west.

Compassion for the Hopeless

For the less fortunate, this implies that you are free to pursue whatever interests you within the constraints of your circumstances- but if you mess up, you have only yourself to blame.

This is an invalid argument. How can a man who is blind see the light?

Instant Gratification

Actually, in the search of individualism, the’masses’ or Plato’s ‘golden soul’ have become synonymous with quick gratification. This may be seen in the pop culture references I provided above.

Pleasure Seeking

To some extent, cheap pleasure-seeking works! Hedonism does alleviate the suffering of the less fortunate. Where it falls short is in persuading the helpless to change their fate.

Breakup of Nuclear Families

A fatherless youngster raised in an abusive environment cannot be expected to become president. Perhaps a few clever children, such as Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, make it to the top due to exceptional genes, but the vast majority of unfortunate children are tossed to the curb by life.

 

Less Fortunate One

What you have is a rogue populace that is uninformed, lonely, selfish, and dumb, and it is being used by individuals who have always been in power.

Islam and Hedonism for the less Fortunate

Islam, on the other hand, may be restricting, but the all-inclusive society it envisions ( read Constitution of Madina) gives individuals genuine hope for a fulfilled life. People are kept happy by generosity, community, hierarchy, spirituality, and rituals.
 

No wonder Islamic societies, despite being the poorest overall, score high on the world happiness index.

So, yes, drugs, intoxicants, promiscuity and revelry for the less fortunate would stave off the inevitable unhappiness, nothing can beat a more connected, caring society with the father as a role model- as envisaged in Islam.

To the less fortunate, I say, stay the course, good times will meet you half way in life.

  • “I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it” Rita Mae Brown
  • “The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it” Oscar Wilde

Hedonism Vs Sacrifice for the Soul

  • “True enrichment does not come through possessing a lot of wealth, but true enrichment is the enrichment of the soul.” (Bukhari)
  • “Enrich me by Your bounty giving me independence from all other than You.” (Tirmidhi)
  • “If you give thanks, I will give you more, but if you are thankless, verily! My punishment is indeed severe.” (14:7)

 

Is Hedonism Bad?

Anything that prioritizes personal pleasure, over the collective good, is definitely bad for society and when society is sick, the individual suffers too. Excessive pleasure seeking cannot be good for the individual as well.

So, Hedonism is not good, but whether it is bad in an unjust society, is another discussion altogether

  1. No doubt instant gratification and absolute freedom is not the answer but binds are also not fullfilling …if religion is like a commune then human nature rebels
    We don’t know the answer ..
    If we did ..We would all be happy .
    Maybe to be humane which all religions preach and putting our bit back …while persuing whatakes you happy?
