Do you ever listen to music to "escape"? Music's effect on living things is not only under-rated, but pretty much ignored. Music can easily warp the laws of physics, manipulating space and time, for the benefit of the listener. In situations of pain, boredom, annoyance, or ill-content, hearing your favorite song can take you instantaneously to a different place or time. When the familiar sounds reach our ears, it becomes easier to deal with the many daily obstacles we face. Music is instinctual, as humans, as members of the universe, the need for music is encoded into our DNA. Some people don't realize this, they spend many hours being miserable and not knowing why. They yell and scream to turn off or turn down the very thing that can help them. If music EVER seems "too loud", it is only because the universe is going out of it's way to let you hear something essential to your survival or happiness. Don't let this attempt be in vain. It might seem that it is only some idiot playing some song you hate. But the universe speaks through karma and through other people. So listen to that annoying song thats "too loud", listen like your life depends on it. Find inspiration, identify with it in some way. When we are older, and time is a commodity, we will remember the people who tried so hard to make us listen, to share art and music, and expose us to new things. These are the true revolutionaries. Find them, be them. Be a person who turns the music up. -gn
