stark ranting

We're all born with the innate ability to appreciate music. Who knows why it makes sense from an evolutionary perspective, but it just feels good. When the music strikes you just right, a tingly sensation starts in the back of your head and stretches out through your limbs. You feel happy and alive. You can't help but smile. Your head starts to bob in rhythm with the music. Pretty soon you can't stand still anymore and you move your body just because you can. Every movement is yours; the duality of mind and body is cherished.

Technologically speaking, modern society is stunningly advanced, but at the same time it is incredibly bland. Creativity was engineered out of our society. We don't work with our hands anymore. We process the same information over and over and over again. There are fewer outlets for creative energy. That's why raves should be saved. They are a celebration of music and dance... and creativity. A collection of people dancing to express their sheer joy and love for the music. People who believe that a community can transcend the vices of humanity if everyone just sets their mind to it. What a beautiful concept. Why wouldn't you want to protect that?

Did you ever notice how blades of grass will grow in the tiny cracks in a sidewalk? Even after covering the Earth with six inches of concrete, life manages to find a way through the cracks.
