Who Set The World On Fire

Anthony Dixon

 

 

Music has always been a Great Influence in my Life since my Teen years. I would listen to various Artists speaking about all the Issues facing Society. Their support or disapproval for certain conditions or Ideologies. They have always appealed to me as thei’r counterparts painting Brushstrokes like Picasso, Dali or Monet. Some were Outlandish, some Incomprehensible and some with Dynamic Simplicity.

 

 

 

That is how many Singers and Songwriters presented thei’r Messages. I have thought many were Visionaries Messengers and Teachers. Anyone who only Listened for the Beat is missing more than just the Heartache and Pain that goes into creating Cords and Riffs, They also missed the Artist’s Emotional Turmoils. They say that Pain and Sorrows produces Empathy. Feeling an Artist’s pain allows me to deal with my own, especially if they draw Parity. Stick Figure Pose the Question ” Who Set the World on Fire” ? My answer, it was you who set the world on Fire, by never agreeing to disagree, by never respecting anyone else’s Rights but yours. That goes far back to the Israelites and the Philistines, as far back to when the World was first divided and Marrying out of your Sect was Prohibited. It was them who set this World on Fire and it kept Burning until Today. Just look at the Lyrics by Billy Joel. The only way to put this 🔥 out is with Emotional Intelligence.

e·mo·tion·al in·tel·li·gence
noun
  1. the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one’s emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically.
    “emotional intelligence is the key to both personal and professional success”

Shared Article from AOL: Bill Gates: Permanent Facebook ban of Trump would be ‘a shame’

Anthony Dixon

Bill is missing the Point. This is about Accountability and Punishment. The Bible says that we are Guilty of Thoughts Deeds and Action. Congress don’t believe it, so why should the young People who are out of School and watch Television all Day. They are the Future Government. Telling them that anyone of us have a Right to Rise up against the Government is the End of Democracy as we know it. I am sorry Bill but being Educated and Rich doesn’t mean that you know everything.
