I dig, you dig, we dig, she dig, he dig, they dig. It's not a very good poem, but it's very deep.

Please take a moment to read:
A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by, and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.
A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping, and continued to walk.
A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, on a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste, and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be:
If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?Much more interesting is to wonder what kind of society we’ve created where our priorities have shifted to work. I remember being asked what I wanted to do when I grew up. And I’d always say I wanted to be an artist. Almost always the reply I would get would be “yeah, but what are you going to do for a living.”
wait isn’t this the same exact story as the violinist in new york
I hate this so much.
Music is subjective; just because you are the “worlds best violinist”, have an instrument that’s base value could feed starving families for decades, and can play what one group of people would praise, and call oh so intricate, does not make you a great musician. People don’t ignore you simply because they are lost sheep, who may never understand the “”“”“”“”Beauty”“”“”” you are displaying, most of these people probably don’t care at all for classical music, ( i love it, by the way ); and really, most of them could probably list thousands of places they’d rather be than in a crowded metro station, people ignore you because they have better things to do than be subjected to someone else’s idea of beauty. This “test’s” outcome shows nothing of society, it just proves the well known idea that people have different tastes. (also, just to say, having a $3.5 million violin does not show anything at all about how well you can play an instrument, or how it will sound )
