Want to survive better? Read the following.
Do you prefer depression? Listen to contemporary music.
The Observation: just as each food has a main flavor, such as salty, spicy, sweet, or bitter, each song has a predominant emotional tone: enthusiastic, cheerful, bored, angry, whining/resentful, or depressed/dying (world of crap, all heroes because they resist, I wanted to live but they prevented me and similar misfortunes).
The Mechanism of communication: whether you are in contact with a person, a work of art, or with a song, it sticks to your soul and drags your emotion towards its own.
In the worst cases, it restimulates your past experiences making you relive those emotions. That is why the most involving love songs are those about ended love, because they touch a string that is inside you and still vibrates at the slightest touch ... but try to be in a good mood after having heard it. Difficult, right?
The Danger: mood infects thoughts and thoughts cause actions! In fact, when you are in a good mood, you solve problems with logic, when you are angry with destruction, when you are depressed you eliminate yourself (so they will realize how bad they are and how much they hurt me).
Do you understand how important it is to choose music that makes you feel good because it puts you in a good mood?
The Solution: to improve your life, include Beauty, starting with music that makes you feel good, the one that sends you positive messages and tones and puts you in a good mood (and don't be surprised if it is mostly music from the past, my generation had a much higher tone than today's).
May your life become more beautiful every day.
