Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of showing kindness and compassion towards others. By urging us to be a lamp, a lifeboat, or a ladder, it prompts us to be sources of light, support, and guidance for those around us. Whether it's offering a listening ear, lending a helping hand, or being a guiding presence, our actions can contribute to the healing of someone's soul. Just as a shepherd looks after their flock, we are encouraged to walk out of our homes with a sense of responsibility and nurture those in need, offering solace and encouragement along the way.

The people who are competing business-wise out there want what other successful labels and artists have. I don't want what they have I want my own path, my own sound, my own identity. Record labels care nothing about identity or artistic freedom, they want good business.

'Robopocalypse' explores the intertwined fates of regular people who face a future filled with murderous machines. It follows them as humanity foments the robot uprising, fails to recognize the coming storm, and then is rocked to the core by methodical, crippling attacks.
