music can be so versatile because it can be used to express so many emotions. Recently, my desire for music has increased that lessons can be learned from them.
In Nigeria, the lust for wealth and affluence has become disheartening and is still on the rise. My people struggle for ways to survive and when ignored by their leaders have strived to survive on their own through dishonest means....hypnotizing others, killing, stealing, fraud etc. Even members of the Law Enforcement Agencies has resorted to killing citizens that refuse to bride them.
such has become the level of corruption but in spite of these instances, good will always spring up for our strength should grow in times of adversities.
According to Ben Franklin, "Those things that hurt, instruct". and we are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it to the full.
This happenings around us should be source of strength even for our future generation for "What is to give life must endure suffering" - Vikhol Frankl
So life is not about what is gained but by the integrity maintained and used as example for the future generation.
so forget about the price tag if you wanna make the world dance

I agree about music....
....as a musician myself, I have used it in many contexts.... to lead others in song, to teach very young, disabled children to communicate, and most recently to help me with recouperating from a long illness. It has lifted me up and provided me a new goal. I encourage you to continue in your work, and look forward to getting to know you more.
Peace and Hope-
Michelle
