This definitely means something...

Out of all the meaningful, meaningless things in the world, it is truly difficult to find something that means something. As  I experience more and more of the world, the value in things change. Certain things become insignificant while others increase in importance. What I find that is unchanging in meaning is Music. Music is without a doubt means something. Wait, I lied; it has not only not change in it meaning, but it actually has grown in purpose. Yes, there is some music out there that just sucks and advertises the shallow things in life, but for the rest, there is something really powerful within it. It's exactly as Peter Gabriel sings, "The book of love has music in it, In fact that's where music comes from. Some of it is just transcendental. Some of it is just really dumb."  I also find that humanity lacks empathy, but music helps fill that gap. When people compose and peform their music, that's usually their heart they pour out there. People manifest how they feel into something which other people can also easily feel. That's pretty potent right there. Music is the thread in which people can be connected and to know they are not alone. Music helped band Estonian citizens to overthrow their Soviet occupators . Mass demonstrations of Estonian citizens would break out into singing their national songs which were strictly banned by the Soviet Union., and it led to their freedom. If Music can do that, it has a defnite place in our world.
