That music calms the Steppenwolf … capturing the bitter sweet realization that what Schopenhauer and the ancients called genius is its own reward.  We do not delight in the consequences of our own genius, and yet it rewards us, even as there appears to be no material nor monetary [ commodifiable ] "take" or transaction for the application of genius.    It is Nature's Presence within us, or simply Nature-as-self using strengths it did not know it had, discovering only under the duress of finding itself alive, its own state most disturbing and distressing - the stomach, the anus, the eyes, ears - all sensitive instruments … the complicated and traumatic effects of social ostracization on the psyche of a human being ...

  That violin and piano music is something Bubble Wrap Folk might shed a tear to, or maybe even laugh with mystical delight upon witnessing the vanity and suffering of existence … skeletons (all of us, with incredible fleshly and mechanistico-organic wirings intertwined around the structures of the skeletal frames) thinking ourselves sexually attractive, and yet after many moon-passings-around the earth, graveyards as gardens, gardens as graveyards, orgasms and tombstones!! - one in the same.

Then there are the puppies and giant snakes … lions and tigers and bears … each with mites and viruses and antibodies ... kittens and flowers and chirping birds and the walking wounded living dead … some of those silly kittens becoming homeless cats in cities, maybe dying of frost and hypothermia or starvation, or getting run down by a motorist rushing to get to "a job" or "the holy temple" …

Things They Will Never Tell YouArthur Schopenhauer has been the most radical and defiant of all troublemakers.
