Living In Fear


No one should have to live in fear. Whether it's in fear of death or whether it's in fear of panic attacks or even in fear of losing your phone. No one should have to. Ever. There are some people who have it reasonable difficult, like myself and some of my friends, but there are others who have it much worse, especially at the moment. So much worse that they can't say "Someone else has it worse.", because it's highly unlikely that there is another person with worse. True, when we have these difficult moments, it can feel like the world is crumbling and we can't handle it, and these can be some of the most difficult moments ever. But they aren't. We are the human race, and we exaggerate. It's part of our nature. A part that we can't control or hold back when we want it to. 

If you ever have a problem, just think about others who have both the same, worse and even better problems. And, if someone incredibly influential happens to read this, please do something about this and help people who live in unbearable fear. Thank you.

Ludwig Van Beethoven

In music, I've been studying music through time, and we've come across Beethoven, who was perfectly in between the classical and romantic periods. When my class originally saw a portrait of him, they all immediately thought of how angry and weird they thought he looked. But then we started to find out about his life. His father was an alcoholic and pushed his son into situations he couldn't control. His mother, one of Beethoven's last strands of hope, died when he was very young. After completing all the tasks his father couldn't complete for his family for several years, his father passed away too. Beethoven was in Vienna at the time, learning from Mozart, when this happened. He decided to stay in Vienna after that because Napoleon had just invaded. When he was 57, he started to realise he was going deaf. As a popular musician, this was a difficult situation to handle. During the progression of his deafness, he composed like mad trying to create music for others even though he wouldn't be able to hear it. Beethoven was selfless and generous to others, yet most still consider him a man who was angry just because that was his personality. But no. He went through real hardships in his life, he was only the man he was because he was sad and lonely. He had no family in Vienna and the public only appreciate him for his music. Yet he is still one of the greatest musicians to have ever lived.

Learn to respect people for who they are, whether they're broken beyond repair or not.
