Perspective is Relative to Passion

"Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."  Ludwig van Beethoven
A bold statement by a revolutionary man.

It is important to observe that all statements by any individual should not be taken by its surface value, but rather to meditate upon.  However, those who take Beethoven's word with a grain of salt will not understand the full extent of his imagination.  Then how should we, are we even able to, interpret this quotation?

Beethoven had an incredible passion for music and opened himself up to the world.  He used his music to translate his emotions and ideas to society's uncensored ear.  The melodies scripted by his imagination tell stories beyond anyone's hopes and dreams.  Because his experiences are strictly unique -- particularly his musical and life experiences -- we may never understand his motives, his subconscious, yet we people accept his works as great.  Why do we?  Because Beethoven mastered the art of communication through carefully coordinated sounds.  He did what many of us could not, share his sentiments, his perspective through the art of music.

What mode of art do you use to express yourself?  If you don't, pick one up!
