Op.13 No.7

I've been lazy again. Actually should say not motivated to write any entries. Lacking of inspiration. Well, for the past few weeks, I enjoyed myself, work and teach. Seems kind of lifeless. Routines. Intrigued by Bruckner's 4th and 9th symphony. Trying to understand them. With this 2 symphonies occupying me, makes my routined daily life filled. Immersed myself immensely into the symphonies. But the 9th is a real tough one. A very in depth piece of work. Deep volume of melodies, mostly scored for the woodwind and brass family. It's not a piece suitable for late nights. Was browsing and came across my friend's blog. After reading, I felt same sentiments. Yeah, the world is getting tough. Natural disasters, terrorism. Why ? Is it because we are being ruled by technology ? Technological deification ? Or is it because it's Nature's way to maintain the population ? I would say, it's our very own human nature. Human minds are powerful. Technologies are developed to aid and improve our daily lifestyle. Call it civilization. But the residual effects are destroying God's creation. Yet, human minds consist of very individual personal thoughts. Each and everyone of us thinking differently. This is where greed, selfishness and the hunger for power comes in. When technology falls into wrong hands, it becomes terrorism. This becomes human self destruction. Think about it, if one day, you have the power to change, what will you do ?
