In 560 BC, Croesus of Lydia asked the priestess at the Oracle of Delphi whether or not to go to war with the Persians in order to expand his empire.
She told him that if he went to war, a great empire would fall.
Rejoicing at the news, Croesus went to war.
A great empire fell.
It was his.
Fin.

What a sweet fruit is life with music. Think: would it not be wise, for one with a penchant for things sweet, to sow music? If life with music is sweet and sweetness implies the presence of saccharides and these sugars provide energy and truly that energy is all one needs to survive, then would it not be accurate to make the statment, “give a man music and you feed him for a day; teach a man to make music and you feed him for a lifetime”.
Unfortunately, it can also be construed to implicate a connection between music and diabetes…
Nevertheless, I prefer taking the risk.
