After receiving clarification on the Will and the will, and playing with the idea that music provides a road from the latter to the first, I remember wondering in class which song has managed to transport me, or at least take me away from the weight of the current surroundings and situations. Wordless music, our writer tells us.
I immediately thought with warmth to Debussy's Claire De Lune. I can listen to it and regardless of where, when or how I find myself, it will make me smile and teach me so much. It helps me remember how short life is because it makes me reflect on the personality of time.
I honestly believe it helps me get rid of will (from which anxiety, pain, a hunger for pleasure comes) and helps me get a bird's eye view of what I perceive is the world. I love it when that happens. When I learned about the will and the Will, this song came to mind because it achieves for me what I think Schopenhauer is talking about.
