There are many things that I believe in, many things that others believe in that I may believe in to an extent, and a lot of beliefs that i don't agree with. I don't believe in putting money before your loved ones, which is a common misconstrued belief, partially due to the rising popularity of vulgar and insensitive rap artists. I believe in practicing compassion with every aspect of your life. I believe that music is a lifeline to some people. I believe, very strongly, in many things but I am not closed-minded and stubborn when it comes to those values and beliefs. I'm open minded enough to listen to your argument, if you can form one that is worth my time to hear. I'm not sure how you could argue AGAINST music acting as a lifeline for some, because i'm living proof.
I've met people who think practicing music and listening to it is a waste. I've met money greedy lawyers who probably listen to talk radio, and I've sat there quietly while they tell their children to turn down their music and finish their homework. What some people don't get is that music is therapeutic to those who are constantly in their minds. You can argue whether or not being in your head a lot is a good or bad thing, but either way, listening to my favorite band on my way to school or work puts me in a good mood for that class or shift. For those of us who's lives revolve around planning for the next show they have tickets to, we can pretty much say we would be lost without music. I fall into that category whole-heartedly.
