Most of my tears of joy and sadness, and feelings of universal connection come from live, un-amplified music, occasionally from stage drama.
Music therapists also practice their art with acoustic music, playing to or with patients. Music has been part of wellness, healing, tribal connections, and religion since the first instruments over 43,000 years ago.
Electronic media are a degenerate form of human connection. Audio and video stunt brain development. Deprived of communal experience, people have taken media stars as cultural leaders, including sports figures.
We now have two former Presidents and a former Governor from the visual media; and a football star as a once and would be future PM. This is a VERY DANGEROUS TREND.
We need more Buddhists, Muslims, and other spiritual leaders in the material business of governance, ones whose achievements are in unity instead of competition. When one person, team, or party wins, we all lose.
