Dispassion Sells
Mahatma Gandhi said, “A burning passion coupled with absolute detachment is the key to all success.”
R. L. Emery, playing the drill sergeant in the movie Full Metal Jacket said, “A rifle doesn’t kill people. A marine with a hard heart kills people.”

Does music trigger emotion?
My personal view is that music is one of the most powerful triggers of emotion we can experience as humans. I’m sure, of course, that it depends on how deep your connection to music is. Mine runs deep.
