Re: Do We Perceive Beauty in an Unexpected Context
I saw that same FB post, and I'm sure I've come across the story
before, although I can't recall where.
I think it mostly tells us that context is everything. We don't expect
to hear first-rate musical performances , encounter world-class
musicians, or come face to face with exquisite musical instruments
worth millions of dollars in a subway station. We are conditioned
that seek out those extraordinary things only in our leisure time,
which is rapidly disappearing.
I wish I had time to write more, but I'm working. (See above Re:
leisure time). I also wish I still had the ability to see the world
through a child's eyes. I only get to do it second-hand, through my 5
(nearly 6) year old daughter. It's the best I can do.
Sucks...
