Perception & Chopin.

Often times I find myself wondering (especially during the time period I'm at swim practice), what makes people so mad? Angry, even sad. How can you hate something so much, even though it may be for the simplest of reasons? And the even greater question I contemplate, is how can someone explain their feelings so incredibly through only their ink and blood on paper, and then turn these feelings into music to reveal to the outside world? Actually, I understand their reasoning, and how they do it... even though it is so difficult to explain. But I find myself so admirable of their capability of writing something so beautiful, that generations later, people can still relate to. They can still laugh, or cry at what this person years ago was currently feeling. And as a musician, it's so astonishing to know that people can relate and understand how you feel without even knowing you personally; or saying a single world to you ever, for that matter. I often find that it's comforting to know that someone thousands of years ago was feeling exactly how you currently are; and they don't need to cover or hide any of their music with completely pointless lyrics. & There are times like these are when I appreciate being a musician, more than ever.
