Why do we enjoy the music that we listen to?
What is it about this music that entails our attention and interest?
Do we listen to rock, rap, or trance music because it outputs our feeling?
Is this good ? (Please do not start discussing the definition of good; assume it is the overall, general human goodness).
Socrates, as well as his pupil Plato, stated that music is a gateway for divine communication or divine goodness. It slipped through the gatekeeper of the soul, bypassing reason. Music was said to be the foundation needed for future harmony of the soul to flourish. Music, being an extreme magnitude of goodness, was censored because it also had a good capability of becoming extremely evil (The corruption of the best things are the worst things). It was music that was the original language, and from this music can be produced a harmonious soul. When you produce your music, without any understanding of a higher power, you begin to believe that everything has come from you (humans). Once this bridge for the voice of the gods is made subjective, society becomes the product of humans, as well as civilization and religion. Finally, everything is subjective. Everything is contingent upon the self.
Narcissus fell in love with his reflection. We are doing the exact same by admiring the feeling(s) we exert while listening to this perverse music.
