How Music is an Escape from Reality
Human encounter a variety of challenges each day either while at work, home or at school. Some days can be very stressful, but music offers relief from all these challenges. Anger is universal, but the many in which people deal with the vice varies from one person to another. Listening to music serves as one of the approaches to managing anger. Music is calming and helps cool off tempers when the situation seems tense (Connell and Gibson 2). Someone can listen to music when they are sad to stabilize the mood and other emotions which may have a negative influence on life. Stressful situations are inevitable in life but listening to music serves as a panacea to addressing boredom and being moody.
Music unites people from all walks of life. The society is made up of individuals from multiethnic communities or groups who may often engage in constant conflicts. However, music can serve as the sole link of unifying individuals from various cultural groups. The timeless aspect of music means that the message can be passed from one generation to another. Music is informative, and some genres are intended to equip listeners with the necessary life skills to handle a particular situation (Connell and Gibson 3). Some music artists compose their songs with the sole intention of enlightening members of the community about some of the challenges that they face and how to deal with them.
In conclusion, music can serve as an escape from the harsh reality that humans often encounter in their everyday lives.

Music helps stabilize the mood after stressful situations due to its soothing and calming nature. Music artists may compose music with the primary motive of informing or educating the masses how to handle some of the challenges that humans face in the contemporary world.
