Music ...I really think there is some truth to this. Music has a way to sooth like nothing else, and in the darkest moment one can remember beauty by calling on music. I have read accounts of inmates of concentration camps being comforted by the remembrance of Mozart. As humans we are capable of depravity of the most foul kind while simultaneously being able to create such beauty. Oh, and by the way, we are systematically poisoning the very planet that supports us. Oh my! Think I'll listen to Beethoven's 9th; that will permit me to forget it all for a while.David M.
