The world is mourning the loss of lives in the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. As the crisis is worsening, many Hollywood celebrities took to their Instagram profiles to express their concern about the grievous horrors of the situation. Dwayne Johnson shared a story about the incident with his 392M followers on Instagram while praying for innocent lives.

Now, the Rock is up for a midnight mental clearing session at the gym while instilling courage with the help of Dylan Thomas’s poetry.

Dwayne Johnson’s emotional and physical training session

The workout session is a great way to burn out the stress when the mind is in distress. The 51-year-old former WWE champion took to a late-night gym session to break the chain of thoughts regarding war and violence. While his gym videos are not new to his followers, the Baywatch actor’s emotional post makes it unique.

In his latest post, the 51-year-old did some “Late night mental clearing,” by hitting the gym. However, there was more to it. 

Dwayne Johnson was burning the midnight oil but he was also clearing his mind. His true motivation about the post is his reiterating Dylan Thomas’s poem that encourages the older man to not give up on life despite the troublesome conditions.

“Do not go gentle into that good night, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they

Do not go gentle into that good night,” the phrases in the post read. But what is the poem all about?

Dylan Thomas’s poem for his father

First published in 1951, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night is written by the poet for his father who was a strong militant in his youth but lost his eyesight in his eighties. The poet calls out to his father to not give up without a fight.

The song has been used in the media for various contexts since then. Given The Rock’s recent post about the violence in the Mediterranean, it’s most likely that the poem was shared as a show of solidarity for the victims. 

Addressing the conflict in Israel-Palestine, Johnson said he was “heartbroken”. His post ended with “I pray for compassion and resolve. I pray for all innocent lives.”

These are trying times and Dwayne Johnson found some solace in his ‘Iron Paradise’. Did you find his message inspiring? Let us know in the comments below.
