Today, I have a special treat from BTS! Yes, it is one of their new song called Spring Day. As always, BTS continuously impresses with their music video quality, and the graphics for the two new music videos are amazing. I love the colors, the aesthetics, the locations of the takes, and the music, of course.
This song, in particular, is the slow version, and it is based on a book (which I don't remember the name). BTS loves making their fans become literature professors and studious reading students, so they base their songs on books and philosophies. I think it is pretty amazing stuff and fun.
From what I read in people's comments, these songs represent society. Our society. We all live in a world desirous to conform and fit in. We struggle to achieve our goals. But in the process of growing up and achieving, we leave our compassion for those in need and who are outcasts behind. In this manner, we turn a blind eye to the atrocities of the world and keep on living in our little circles of happiness.
Those who try to rebel and find a different way to live are scorned upon and outcasted. But it is by freeing ourselves from these roles of conformity that we can find true happiness.
To me, I believe the prison of conformity lies not in the material possessions we acquire, but in how we think about those possessions.
Do you like having a nice house to live in? I do. Do you like having food in your fridge? I do. Do you like taking trips around the world? I do.
We all want to better ourselves and live comfortably. But in the process of achieving that, keep in mind the most important thing you can improve in your life: Yourself.
We are all born to work, and serve, and relax, and have things. And it is okay to have those desires. But don't let the thoughts of greed and jealously cloud your judgment.
Learn to have balance in your life. Learn to live comfortably on your means. Learn to be grateful for where you are. Learn to give of yourself to find the happiness that you really need.
And above all, learn that the most incredible feeling in life is knowing you have somebody to love.
Be strong, be unique, and step outside of your comfort zone!
