8. I thought this was an Elvis Costello thread

As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.

I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside,
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh

10. You left out the understanding!

You can't have peace without love; you can't have love without understanding. Empathy is a prerequisite.

As far as what's funny is concerned (aside from the inherently absurd nature of life itself, which is pretty gosh-darned funny), I refer you to the following bit of pseudo-Daoist wisdom I gleaned from the Internet(s):

Two fish are swimming upstream.
The first fish hits his head on a big concrete wall.
He turns to the other one and says, "Damn!"
