The art of the MUSES!

What is music?
For the ancients, it was a noble activity promoting the growth of the mind, the total individual and most importantly, the soul.
For us, the moderns, who are surrounded by it, EVERYWHERE, for EVERYTHING, it is nothing, a mere distraction, background noise, nothing more.
We don't even listen to it, it just plays, on and on and on.............endlessly, pointlessly, or does it?
We have become so accustomed to its droning, to this constant background noise, that we are no longer even aware of it, and of it's influence and effect on us and our lives.
The majority of the braindead masses of this sad excuse of humanity that we call, 'modern civilization', is no longer consciously aware of music and just how powerful it really is and what effect it actually does have on us and every aspect of our lives.
How often do any of you actually here the soundtrack of the movie that you just watched, what song was playing in the supermarket while you shopped, or in the restaurant while you ate dinner?
There is music for all, to suite all, and catered for all, no matter what your taste, preference or even state of mind.
Music has become accessible to all, both in style and of course given the advances in technology in the last few years, in actual availability.
We can now literally take music with us everywhere, all the time, NO EXCEPTIONS.
THINK ABOUT IT!
If music, was just music, would it have such a HUGE impact, influence and effect on every aspect of every persons life on this planet?
OR is there more to it?
Is there something else, something more that we are a missing, that we have not understood?
What then must we do?
