Reality or Illusion?

       Has the question ever striked you of: " What am I actually seeing and is what I'm seeing really true?" This question has brought great thought upon me and here are some of my thounghts on this.

       Vision. What is Vision? "Visual perception is the ability to interpret information and surroundings from the effects of visible light reaching the eye." This raises hundreds of questions regarding the visual world. When you look at the world around you, are you ever actually seeing it? This brings the point that you are only seeing the perceived light reflecting off the objects. This suggests that you never see the true world, only the light it reflects into your eyes and your brain. This also introduces a new question of: "Is my brain producing the true and correct image?" This also brings the question of: "What is true?" Sense you only get one perspective of the world your whole life, then you have no chance to see what the other man may see. All of these questions have been asked for centuries, and the truth is that they may never be answered.

Music

           Music is in some way an essential part to one's livelihood and happiness, along with having a big effect on a person's overall character and way of action. Music is certainly a big part of my life. It is a tool that sooths my mind and soul, far greater than any other pleasure. It is also a device that can be used to promote and increase one's thought and creativity. It captures you in a whole new world that is full of comfort and joy with no earthly problems or sufferings. This may connect with music being used as a way of worship to the Gods and in spiritual rituals. The amazing thing about music is that there will always be new sounds, songs, and new ways of playing it. Music is a never ending and lifelong enjoyment that will accompany the world for the rest of its existence. Any sound in a sense can be considered music, which is why sound and music are like another world, with never ending possibility and life. Music also may intrigue the human being so much because it is intangible and unseen. This aspect of music gives it a characteristic that most do not have. These are a few of the countless reasons why the gift of music may be the greatest gift given to the universe.
