Change your perspective

Have you ever experienced something that has moved your perspective of an idea? Even the most diminutive objects can move us to do extraordinary things. We see this occur in  "Death of a Moth," by Virginia Woolf. She is observing life through a moths lense and how full of "zest" yet "pathetic"(paragraph 2) it's life truly is. In Woolfs life she struggles with severe depression which concludes why this piece is so dark and dreary to us. When she sees the moth stuck in the windowpane she is moved to a different perspective on life. I can connect to this idea but through music. Whenever I get into a "mood" I can listen to a song that describes how I am feeling and get a totally different perspective on the situation at hand. The situation could be anything from a heart break to a pump up jam before a game. In other pieces I have read such as, Sherman Alexies, "Because My Father Always Said He Was The Only Indian Who Saw Jimi Hendrix Play "The Star-Spangled Banner" At Woodstock," I have noticed the power of music to view a different perspective on an idea. Woolf didn't use music to see life through a different lense she observed a moth, "very thin but pure"(paragraph 2) and its struggle for life. In the end sometimes even the most minuscule objects can open our eyes, broader and clearer than ever before.
