I believe this is correct, but music is also a lot more. Music makes me aware of my existential problems and my overall life situation. Pop music makes me picture my life to myself in my mind. Athletes, for instance, use music to motivate themselves, and in analogy to this, I use music to focus on what I think is important, for instance writing. Music and the Meaning of Life Music, as I see it, is connected to the meaning of life.
Music has the ability to point at that which is important.
The meaning of life is central in human life. Dostoyevsky said that the secret of living is not just to live, but to live for something. One of those who read Dostoyevsky was the atheist Nietzsche. A central aspects of Nietzsche's philosophy is that as human beings we are searching for meaning. The human mind, when contributing to the well-being of the individual, attempts to create a perspective on reality that gives meaning.
