My Thoughts on Music, Anger, and Technology

Recently, I've been thinking more and more and I have not had a chance to write it all down... So, I finally decided to take three of my most recent topics and write some brief thoughts on them down!

MUSIC

What would the world be without music? Honestly... what do you think it would be like?! Music expresses emotions, such as sadness, love, and joy. Without music, those would just be bottled up and kept from the world. Music is also for people's listening enjoyment. It's not always true (most of the time it isn't, actually), but it can help people with something they're going through, or be a new favorite song for others! Without music, the world would be a somewhat dull place...

ANGER

It's not a bad thing, to tell you the truth. Think about it... Anger is the opposite of happiness. Without anger, happiness would have no opposite and really couldn't even exist. Well, I guess that in theory, happiness could exist, but someone would have to have the opposite of it sometime and it really would just not be able to be identified as a certain emotion. Anger isn't bad itself, even not thinking about happiness. It lets people know more things about what they don't like and need to try to stay away from. It educates a person to avoid things they get the certain emotion of anger from.

TECHNOLOGY

Every day, the world is being improved and getting a little bit easier. But I want to question if it's really all a good thing. I mean, I love flat screens and laptops as much as you and the next person does, but I'm not sure it's actually good. If a teleporter that you could take to any location in the world, people would no longer really even have a reason to move other than to go to that teleporter. I'm not saying that all types of technology are bad. For instance, advances in medication affect us for the better. It helps add to the life expectancy. Every time they come out with something new, it makes us want to ditch the stuff we just bought and go for that new item because it has a great special feature. I do that too, so don't worry that you're the only one ;) It's hard to say no to the things that are bigger (or in some cases, smaller and more portable is a good thing) and better.

Just a few thoughts running through my head... ;)

I love music. It is the backdrop to life, as in a good movie. You're probably not old enough yet, but just wait. An old song will come back like an old friend and take you back to your college/high school/childhood years! There's nothing like a good song!
