On Importance of Music and Art in our Lives

These days, we almost accepted that the nature of art is of diversionary character. But, nothing can be further from the truth, and more dangerous for the quality of our lives.

Art, and especially in the times of decay, or immediately after a decay, is offering an idea of how to feel about the world around us. It is a design for our lives, if you want. For example, music that is commonly played when you enter a computer shop makes all the difference. Is it Britney Spears, or Jean Michel Jarre? A few things are socially more important than this, actually!

From seemingly little things, the greatest things proceed. Art which is commended and accepted will define how we fill and think as social beings. Therefore, the kind of music that we want being played and produced is in tight relation with the life we want to experience. Seemingly, economy is crucially shaping our lives; but this is true only on the lower lever of existence. Once the resources for survival are there, other forces become more important than economy. And it's art that, from this point on, most substantially shapes all of ours life experiences. It's not a diversionary time-killer, but a powerful tool to make life go in one direction or the other. And everyone should be aware of this.
