Essentially Playful

[Sample]
The existence — the physical universe is basically playful
There is no necessity for it whatsoever
It isn't going anywhere
That is to say it doesn't have some destination that it ought to arrive at
But, it is best understood by analogy with music
Because music, as an art form, is essentially playful (Playful, playful, playful)
We say you play the piano. You don't work the piano
Why?
Music differs from, say, travel
When you travel, you are trying to get somewhere
And of course, we, because bеing a very compulsive and purposive culturе, are busy getting everywhere faster and faster and faster, till we eliminate the distance between places

But we missed the point, the whole way along
It was a musical thing, and you were supposed to sing or dance while the music was being played
In music, though, one doesn't make the end of the composition
The point of the composition
If that were so, the best conductors would be those who played fastest
And there would be composers who wrote only finales

[Instrumental Break]

[Sample]
That existence is musical in nature
That is to say that it is not serious, it is a play
Of all kinds of patterns
