Sounds of music.

Just I quick post, I promise.
I am heading to a concert tonight. It is part of a four night concert, some people ask why someone would go for all four nights, and well they are playing different songs (one album each night) and all the fan favourites. I am attending two of the nights and I am very excited. Music has been such a huge part it my life. Going to concerts is one way I support my fellow musicians. Their music has helped me through a lot of hard times in my life. I find that music is the thing that keeps me at peace. At this current moment, I really need to be at peace, since assignments and essays are all crammed within this next week. If you are stressed take a minute or two just to sit with your eyes closed, and listen to the music that you love. Let all your thoughts leave you, just be in the moment. No matter how upbeat or mellow the music it will probably calm you.

What does society think?

How can we predict what society will think? Are there trends? Who says that it is what is acceptable? Can we change what is acceptable? Isn't being different going against what society wants? Or does society wants people to be different, which in turns make us the same? Is it acceptable for Barbie and air brushed ads to have such an unhealthy look? I guess it is, since we still have them. Is this not setting the ideal self image in the younger generations? Do boys now only want this type of girl? People strive to become the ideal human. Do video games also influence people’s perspectives? Does having form fitting armour, or huge muscles make today's society strive to have this perfect image? Does this make sense, since they want us to play their game and not go work out? Why do we have this constant push to become an ideal image? Why are we not promoting healthy and happy living? Why are we promoting always improve yourself?
It sort of makes me not want to do anything anymore. It makes me sad to think about what rules and guidelines our society is making for itself. It frustrates me to see good people being treated poorly because of their looks or of their social status. It makes me not care even more what people think of me, I am happy with who I am. The people I love and that love me know who I am. They accept me for the way I am, and never wish for me to change. You are your own being, if people cannot accept who you are, and then they have the choice to walk away. I do not think they have the right to say that you need to change.

Self... what does that even me?

What makes a person? Does self awareness? Does the perception of us in others?
If you lose your sense of self does that mean you do not exist?
Are you just a soul stuck in a body you are not aware of? Trapped in a place that is unfamiliar, uncontrollable?
What is your quality of life then? If you are constantly controlling yourself, an unable to properly communicate due to lack concentration, does it take away from your quality of relationships?
What about outer body experiences? When experiencing them do you feel non human, something of higher power? Are you human, or part of something else? What makes us human, control of the body we live in? What makes us able to figure out the difference between one another if we had no sense of self? Would we not be united as one whole? Is that the only way we will have "peace", or would there still be issues? What is the concept of self? What does it include, our morals, body, thoughts...? Why do we strive to have a different self then everyone else? Can you define yourself? Is it difficult or easy? Why?

Sorry for not posting, so much for the picture a day for a month.. I might try a picture each week and see how that goes.
