Religion

(I love this picture because it completely encompasses the "God" -like attitude people have towards their favorite musicians, and why shouldn't they be? They answer the same questions others look to god for)

I tried to look for a picture that demonstrated my love for music, and although this picture I took doesn't quite do the job, I like to share it because it just simply is an awesome picture, especially when about everyone surrounding you is completely ready to attack at any moment (That's what this kind of music does to people crammed in a small area for over an hour). I'm a very comparative person when it comes to interests, and music, being an interest is ultimately a main comparative when meeting people. I like hearing what other people like and ultimately I love that everyone in the world has the ability to like different things  from each other. Music is a very large part of my life, I unfortunately don't play any instruments but I do love to listen to music. I find something in it I don't typically find in other things. I read books, and all I find is a story, I sort of need all of the messages to be spelled out for me. The same sort of goes for film which I'm better at deciphering the meaning out of but it's not the same as in music. Typically though I don't know about their true meanings, the meanings I find in them I can bet are very far off from the true, intended meanings. A song that I've recently found to be very political, I've interpreted differently in order to make sense of my life. Then I thought about it and realized, That's what religion is, people all over the globe search for some meaning or answer to the questions unanswerable in life and they search typically through religion. wether its a story about Moses or Noah, all the stories are a message, all religion is, is the attempt to answer the questions we want answered. That's what music is to me; Answers to my questions. Why should I even get up today? What's wrong with this world? What's wrong with me? Is it all even worth it? I get different answers to these questions sometimes, but ultimately what I all that matters is that Music pushes me to set aside these questions and proceed with my life, even if it is just temporary.
