What is common between good music & good books?
In a world of worries and chaos, often we are so weighed down by negativity, emotions and desires that we seldom make use of our intellect to live well. That's when good books come to our rescue. Great books not only contain insights packaged in the form of wisdom but also, are commercialized well. They can inspire us to do wonderful things by motivating us and soothe us to accept things by providing a therapeutic effect.
Similarly, good music offers a therapeutic effect by making us feel less lonely. It can also, inspire us to think beyond ourselves - music is a proof that the human race is greater than it knows. We tend to bottle and preserve both books and music so that we can access when we need them.
However, there is an urgent need to dig up insights from music. That is insights on how music can help us understand and make sense of the world around us. I guess there is an urgent need for more thinkers and interpreters of music, who can come up with their best on what music actually mean to their lives and how music can guide us to live well.
