"Love"

Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my boyfriend"). This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of familial and platonic love to the profound oneness or devotion of religious . Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationship and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.

"Nuggets of Hope"

Hope is the greatest refining influence in human life. It is the "echo of the spirit" in us and, like other echoes, it calls back the voice of our own desires, only in a more delicate, ethereal tone; and each successive echo is higher up and farther away and more spiritual than the last.

- "He begins to die who quits his desires"
- English proverb

- "Lord, grant that I may always desire more than I accomplish"
- Michelangelo

- "He who wishes to ascend the ladders of the world, will find at the same time the staircase of heaven"
- German proverb

- "Were it not for hope the heart would break"
- Scottish proverb

- "Though hope be a small child she can carry a great anchor"
- English proverb

- "In the kingdom of hope there is no winter"
- Old Russian proverb

- "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life"
- Proverb of Solomon

- "A misty morning does not simply a cloudy day"
- Ancient proverb

"Hope"

All that hopes in the world is directly or indirectly brought about by hope. Not a stroke of work would be done were it not in hopes of some glorious reward. It matters not that it generally paves the way to disappointment. Phoenix - like it rises from its ashes and bids us forget the disappointment of the present in the contemplation of future delights. Hope, then, is the principal antidote which keeps our hearts from bursting under the pressure of evils.

True hope is based on energy of character. A string mind always hopes, and has always cause to hope, because it know the mutability of human affairs, and how slight a circumstances may change the whole course of events.

It is the best to hope only for things possible and probable; he that hopes too much shall deceive himself at last, especially if his industry does not go along with his hopes, for hope without action is a barren undo er.

Hope awakens courage, but despondency is the last of all evils; it is the abandonment of good - the giving up of the battle of life with dead nothingness. When the other emotions are controlled by events, hope remains buoyant and undismayed - unchanged, amidst the most adverse circumstances.

Hopes lives in the future, but dies in the present. Its estate is one of the expectancy. Hope calculates its schemes for a long and durable life, presses forward to imaginary points of bliss, and grasps at impossibilities, and, consequently, very often ensnares men into beggary, ruin, and dishonor.

"It's all about MUSIC"

Music is an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color. It adds life to every individual. MUSIC HISTORY Music history is the study of how music has evolved over time. It is somewhat related to the fields of musicology and ethnomusicology.

Music is found in every known culture, past and present, varying wildly between times and places. Around 50,000 years ago, early modern humans began to disperse from Africa, reaching all the habitable continents. Since all people of the world, including the most isolated tribal groups, have a form of music, scientists conclude that music must have been present in the ancestral population prior to the dispersal of humans around the world.

Consequently music must have been in existence for at least 50,000 years and the first music must have been invented in Africa and then evolved to become a fundamental constituent of human life.

A culture's music is influenced by all other aspects of that culture, including social and economic organization and experience, climate, and access to technology. The emotions and ideas that music expresses, the situations in which music is played and listened to, and the attitudes toward music players and composers all vary between regions and periods.

PREHISTORY

The origin of music are lost deep in prehistoric times. Probably the earliest forms of music were songs, possibly accented by the clapping of hands. Most likely the first instruments were percussion instruments, maybe a hollow trunk, stones hit together, or other things that are useful to create rhythm, but not always melody. Thirty-thousand-year-old bone flutes have been found in archeological sites; the design seems to be similar to that of the recorder.

EARLY MUSIC
Early music is a general term used to describe music in the European classical tradition from after the fall of the Roman Empire, in 476 CE, until the end of the Baroque era in the middle of the 18 century. Music within this enormous span of time was extremely diverse, encompassing multiple cultural traditions within a wide geographic area; many of the cultural groups out of which medieval Europe developed already had musical traditions, about which little is known. What unified these cultures in the Middle Ages was the Roman Church, and its music served as the focal point for musical development for the first thousand years of this period. Very little non-Christian music from this period survived, due to its suppression by the Church and the absence of music notation; however, folk music of modern Europe probably has roots at least as far back as the Middle Ages.
