"Life takes its path and sometimes there are people to blame. Of course there are bad people in this world. Good, bad, it happens unfortunately. But in a way I think if there was more focus on the good, more good would happen"
About this Quote
The subtext is about attention as a cultural force. “Life takes its path” frames chaos and misfortune as partly structural, partly random, which reduces the temptation to narrativize everything as a conspiracy. Then she pivots: yes, there are bad people, but the bigger lever is what we choose to amplify. It’s a media-age argument disguised as a personal philosophy. In a world trained to reward scandal, Corr suggests the feedback loop can be hacked: spotlight decency, and you create permission, models, momentum.
Coming from a musician - someone whose job is literally to move feeling through repetition - the idea of “more focus” carries extra weight. Pop culture runs on refrains: what gets sung, shared, and staged becomes what feels normal. Her phrasing is plain, even slightly circular (“Good, bad, it happens”), which reads less like a manifesto than a coping strategy refined in public view. She’s not claiming goodness magically erases harm; she’s arguing that cynicism is also a choice, and it quietly manufactures the world it expects.
