Psychology
I've been reading Julius Caesar for a while now. All those analyzing and shit are paying of. You can actually learn a lot of things about people in the book. It can help you distinguish how the mind works. For example, how the people praise their leaders. To think, Popmey, the leader before Caesar, just died and here are the people praising Caesar, as if they never heard the name Pompey. You see they went for the person whom they can benefit from. If they mourned over Pompey, who is also Caesar's enemy, they wouldn't get anything but if they praised and celebrated Caesar's victory, they'll recieve a day off, food and money. Itis still the same as today; people go for the people whom they can benefit from. Furthermore, Caesar also has a flaw; he portrays this powerful, bold and patriotic man. He keeps ignoring the warnings that the people around him are saying and he thinks he is untouchable. Besides who would want a leader who is showing his weakness right? He keeps saying that if it is about his well being and not about Rome, he's not interested. Most people portray a certain character for people to accept them. Ask anyone and they'll say just act yourself, however, a person can't help but portray someone else other than themselves since they want to belong or fit in. This makes Julius Caesar an incredible play. You can learn how people think, how to manipulate the mind and how speeches can change a person's principles.

SOMETHING
-Music is my refuge. I could crawl into the spaces between the notes and curl my back to loneliness-
-It is cruel you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness and of pain, of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature, and everlasting beauty of monotony -
-Maybe... maybe emotions become so intense your body just can't contain it. Your mind and your feelings become too powerful... and your body weeps.-
-When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares-
-Don't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or lifetime is certain for those who are friends-
-In every human heart is a place where you put your broken dreams. When something doesn't work out, no matter what it may be, you just have to give it up and stuff it In with your other broken dreams. And make sure to keep the lid tight-
-Life's complexities are also life's source of beauty. We should all have to cry at one point to appreciate how it feels to laugh again, and crumble down and be broken so that you can be whole again-
-Words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out-
-For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.-
-We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love-
