Summary

Having the opportunity to dwell in music from a young age greatly shaped me as a person, in terms of emotion and patience. I've always wished for people to be able to experience the joy of music, for them to hear or create different sounds that morph into one harmonious bundle, for them to be drawn into something so sentient after an entire day in their systematic jobs. I understand that the body mechanism can sustain without music, but what will a person that doesn't know the beauty of the living live for?
