Little Things, Big Message

   We live in a world where most of the people suffer or get frustrated by little problems. Big and easy solutions are what they want. But sometimes all they need to do is to take it easy and they will find a solution. As humans we need to realize that if we stress ourselves too much we could cause damage to our lives and by doing that we would not find peace and tranquility in our lives.

   The song “Three Little Birds” by Bob Marley is one of his most popular. The lyrics make people think in a different way. “Don’t worry about the things, ‘cause every little thing it’s gonna be all right”. These lyrics typify what the dong is about. I really like this song because it is related to the reality during these days.

   People always overreact when they have problems and by doing that they stress themselves out. This song is actually good to listen to when there are little or insignificant problems and people do not know what to do. Why should we worry about stupid things? There is no point of doing that, just live it up because we only live once. Those are the words that Bob Marley used to say when he was still alive.

   The rhythm of the song has some kind of magic and something that grabs our attention very quick. Every time I listen to it, it calms me down and makes me think that every problem I have “it’s going to be alright”. I am not saying that just by listening to the song the problems will get solved, I am trying to say that it helps me to relax and see the problems in another way. Good choices are made when someone is calm.

   Many people do not like Bob Marley because he was promoting the use of Marihuana, but it does not mean that his music was also promoting it. I think that this song has anything to do with drugs. It actually transmits positive thoughts and a different way to confront life and its problems.
