It's amazing how you can see how much of an impact you've made on somebody's life in death. I didn't have a good example to work with when I first thought of writing this post, but sadly one came in the form of one of the biggest stars in music history. Michael Jackson. And it just hit me about how many people have memories, experiences, or been affected by him. And though he was constantly in the spotlight, most of what you saw in recent years doesn't show who he truly was. Everybody that remembers Michael Jackson from the early 80s up knew him as a humanitarian first and a performer second. From constantly raising awareness of other places around the globe, he used his music to encourage us all to look outside ourselves and do something for others when we can. A perfect example of that would be in his Song/Video of his hit song "Earth Song". I posted it below:
Earth Song
Michael was one of the few people that could completely fill an entire football stadium (field and stands) with fans of his music, because that's just the kind of music he provided. Electric. Moving. Smooth. Although he is gone from this earth, he will never be gone from our memories. I think we should all take a page from his book and look past ourselves and see the rest of the world. If not the world, then just look out around your local city, there is something that can be done to help someone else. Even a smile. So here's to you MJ. Rest In Peace.
