Whether I'm driving home after a long day at work, feeling depressed over life's seemingly dwindling possibilities, or witnessing something ugly in the world, I'm always grateful that there is music. It is the most reliable and efficient means of lifting myself up after feeling down. Classical music, in particular, tends to inspire me more than any other kind. It reminds me of the very best moments I've ever experienced. It reminds me of what is possible and why I should keep trying.
Recently, I was posed the question: What is the purpose of listening to classical music? My answer: I listen to classical music as a way of asking my soul to be mindful of the best in existence and to guide me accordingly.
