If only we have the power to stop the raging tide of violence the world is about to be engulfed with! But the pessimistic streak in each of us would like us to believe that there is really nothing we can do about it. And when you check it out in your favorite news channel right there and then and before your very eyes your worst fears are being reinforced. News of bombings, kidnappings, massacres coupled with man-made and natural calamities dominate the gory scene.
But before we are eaten up by the strong negative vibrations around it would perhaps be good to massage and awaken the optimistic side of our collective persona. There are so many things to celebrate and to be happy about. The advances in our knowledge about the laws that govern the physical universe have been astounding. In fact, beginning with Einstein the search for the ultimate formula to explain everything has been pursued with relentless ferocity. The dream is that every living soul would exactly know how the whole thing works and the role each must play in the scheme of things.
Just as we possess the power to destroy we also have the power to build. Everything is in our hands. We could either be the problem or the problem solver. If we have the power to wreck havoc in the world we also have the power and the means to build a better world.
One of the most potent and readily available resources we have in building a better and more peaceful world is the power of music. It is the act of producing sweet, rhythmic and melodious sound that could sooth even the most savage breast. There are many ways and instruments of producing musical sounds. But the one I would like to master is the violin. With the advent of the internet to teach yourself violin is not as difficult as before. Aside from the tutorial videos that are readily available there are also a lot of reference materials on how to teach yourself violin
You can choose the kind of instrument that suits you best. With my violin I would be able to fight in my own little way the rush of violence that threatens our existence as a species.
What would be yours?
