The music instinct

I just rented the a MUST SEE documentary called The Music Instinct. I feel compelled to share this treasure with everyone I know (and don't know) who has a child or works with children. I love to sing and dance and be goofy. I really didn't know why I do but my best explanation would be: Because it makes me happy? I like being happy! I dunno.

This documentary labeled every thing for me with science, research and practical explanations any lay person can grasp. Now I know why I am happy. I also know how I have developed the ability to be sillier and goofier - in public - not just in my own private space. It's not just coincidence or that my character gradually changed. Sidebar: I have a disposition for depression and grew up with anxiety in social situations. It is because music and music making developed and changed areas in my frontal lobe, cerebellum, as well as other cortex's that I can't pronounce or spell, to facilitate this blessed consequence.

I can confidently state with intelligent definitions that I am happier, mathematically and linguistically smarter, more observant and aware since I have become a music maker and now I know why. Or to be more honest I have a minute understanding why. I am sure my enthusiasm, after stumbling across this treasure, will lead me to learn and discover even more.

I sincerely want everyone who reads this post to be encouraged to rent or buy The Music Instinct. Even more I want to hear your feedback.
