Music is a moral law: "It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and life to everything. It is the essence of order, and leads to all that is good, just and beautiful, of which it is the invisible, but nevertheless dazzling, passionate, and eternal form." - PLATO (classical Greek philosopher, mathematician)

Keep focus with more lines attributed to Plato:

Music and rhythm find their way into the secret places of the soul,-

Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue,-

Musical innovation is full of danger to the State, for when modes of music change, the laws of the State always change with them,-

Give me the music of a nation; I will change a nation’s mind,-

If you want to measure the spiritual depth of society, make sure to mark it’s music,-

Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back,-

Those who wish to sing always find a song,-

At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.

It's deep - browsing through the works of Plato, hunting for the source of a quotation and several textual searches for words, phrases and quotes on sites that offer his collected works, along with other works by classical authors. Just have to admit that in the reading, not yet read everything Plato wrote; there's several dialogues, and then mostly pieces from his works. Reading the entire Republic, sadly not, but have it available for another try and have to ask: Why did Ugandan artistes sold their souls to politics ?

"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds!" - Bob Marley

- Let's keep singing.

- Let's keep the hope alive.

- Let's keep imagining the Uganda we want.
