Story told by music (part II)

The Goodness - driver of Art, driver of Life?


In the first part of "Story told by music" I had shown (by means of deduction) how musical language coincides with the language of nature and the world, how basic musical elements (rhythm, harmony, melody, polyphony) coincide with essential elements of life on Earth. I concluded my contemplation with thoughts about man and his always creative soul - his attraction to create form (clearly, everything in the world has its form), which provides a whole and the beauty, the beauty which fills us each time with such a good feeling. Why?


Creating something that has a form, something that offers beauty, should be the purpose of human life. This thought is supported by countless creations of each individual on this planet. Everybody is always creating something. Even those who stack boxes on the conveyor belt (and suffer from lack of creativity in the workplace), do create. They create when they come home; baking cookies, governing the garden, cleaning-up the basement, caring for children, etc.. Finally, the crown and the biggest proof that the man is supposed to create is the "creation of a child" (which is a symbol of purity, goodness and beauty). However, it is something that separates creation of a child from the rest of creations. Other creations are of our property, while the child is not. Parents (should) create children from one and only porpouse - to give them precious possibility to live (and of course to help them find their creative goals)... But that's not the point of this discussion.

Let's see the meaning of good feeling. We can point out with surety that beauty inspires good feelings (even the aesthetics of uglyness compel us to recognize the consequences of bad and evokes the desire for good and beautiful). Man is therefore happy when he creates. Even more, creating saves him from the real life complexities. He is happy because he is able to make beauty and produce something useful, he is happy because he feels that the creation is fulfilling his purpose of life. And if the purpose of life is creating, if we feel well when we create, it must be that this is the natural state of man - to be happy. To be looking forward to creating, to be admiring and celebrating the miracle of life, which provides the creative power and freedom to each individual. Departing from this, it is quite clear that the energy (in other words spirit, soul, substance), which keeps a man alive and represents a driver of his live at the same time, is a power of Good (or Good-being), forwhy the natural state of man is that he enjoyes and admires the process of his own creations, creations of others and the collective creation, the natural condition is that he is glad to work well and to feel Good.
Another proof of this is repeatedly revealing to me through music; top musician is always very simple and good man. It never happened to me, that I met a musician who stricked me with his wonderuf playing and that wasn't the same impressive on his humanistic side as well. Hereupon I concluded many times, that the good should be a condition to achieve maximum beauty.
And what is that indescribable beauty, which we can say with certainty, that it's the biggest of all, that is on disposal to everyone, created by a greater Good, that one can imagine? The beauty of nature. Just remember for a moment what nature offers to you: from the rainbow of creatures and their lives (the colourful world of flora and fauna), and up to the mighty mountains, wrapped in a blanket of quiet, great blue ocean and our golden sun that greets us each morning, again and again. That greets us and says: "Look at me, you, who are the creator, look at my golden face, because nothing less golden is your creative power, which calls for completion!" Sun, another thing that always pleases us (and makes us feel warm and optimistic), another thing that represents (maybe most clearly) the energy, crucial for the survival and development of life on our planet - the energy of Good.
Thus it is very likely that once the great Good created the nature, while the nature is full of the latter. Have you already seen trees that would cry, when discarding their leaves in autumn and prepearing for winter-sleep? Have you seen offsprings crying (with the exception of human offsprings) when going alone into a big world, away from the mother? No. Nothing in nature cries. All runs and lives in order to keep the balance, in order to maintain and develop a form and beauty of the world. It seems that all beings instinctively feel that they are creating one whole, for one world - for one beauty of a creation which is in constant development and that there is no equal to it. Why is this so difficult to understand for people? Where and when did we astray?

Anyway ... if you let yourself be sensible for a moment and if you look briefly into the nature, man and into all that is, deep down, you will feel good. The great Good, that was so good to create a miracle of life, unprecedented and indescribable in its beauty and proportions.


Warmest thoughts until next time! ;)
