A post unlike any other I've read on the internet before.
I can give my own example of how my own "song" shone (a bit litterally too I guess, but still). For a long time as I was playing
WoW and doing other stuff I felt content, but always my spirits were low and I felt like struggling every day. Then, not long ago, our band got together, where I play our own songs with my two brothers and two other friends. Suddenly I felt like it's "all worth it". Like getting up every morning is worth those 3 hours of band practice on that night, because that is where my "song" lies and where we, 5 band members, constantly reflect back to each other our own love for music.
And it's damn true about it being wrong that modern societies keep frowning or even worse - keep trying to *control* - these kinds of things! In my country that's exactly the problem on the menu. No science fiction clubs, no helping anyone that is doing anything in art (painters beg for money usually, bands struggle to make any kind of dough, ect.)...nothing that cannot make substantial profit is allowed to prosper. It's as if it can't be measured, if it can't be recited and named as "official" and if it is not "logical" it's not worth of trying...
I suppose that's the reason why I spend so much time "out of real life" so to speak. Since the internet still allows for this freedom to exist (even though on the internet there are various ways of "keeping one's imagination under control"...meh. But anyways, as it has been said very well. It's very important to remember that song, discover it for oneself as much as possible and not forget it exists. Unfortunately most people are told to "grow up" as they come to adulthood and to forget this...no wonder many people feel lost in today's world *sigh*.
Anyway...great post and do not worry about writing this sort of thing on these forums.
