Summary

This quote suggests that life, similar to music, should not be constrained by rigid guidelines or rules, but rather created through listening, intuition, and emotion. It emphasizes the importance of embracing our individuality and trusting our instincts to navigate the complexities of life. Just as a musical composition is unique and personal to its creator, our lives should be crafted based on our own innate understanding and perception, rather than conforming to societal norms or following a predetermined path. It encourages a more creative and intuitive approach to living, allowing us to find authenticity and meaning in our experiences.
