Complicated texts and EDM

Shakespeare and other complex texts are to beginning readers as EDM is to me.

There are layers of beauty and harmony that I don't quite see (and perhaps don't agree with ^^;;).

It could be an acquired taste but in parsing out the beauties of it, one can learn to appreciate it for more than just noise.

Reactive versus proactive

I suppose another way to look at it is defensive versus offensive.

One can react to life and what it has to offer.

Or one can be proactive about the factors that one has control over in life.

Why is being proactive so difficult?
