Well, I would like to talk about this one song called Beat It by the famous music creator Michael Jackson. I first heard the song Beat It in a fighting video I was watching on YouTube as the background song, but more than the fighting video itself, the song really stuck out to me, not because the rhythm was catchy, but because the lyrics really stood out to me. The lyrics went on and on about you should never be suppressed, you should always, it's how it's mandatory for you to always seize the moment whenever you can and do whatever it takes to accomplish your life goals. And it sometimes took a hit at the personal morals of some people and said that the music, the song itself, said that how even though you should take any kind of measures, even though sometimes it can go against your personal goals, and it says that it doesn't matter if you are evil or if you are good or whatever kind of person you are. If you are trying to accomplish your goal by any means, then being evil or good doesn't really matter as long as you are accomplishing your life goals.
