Plato’s Playlist: Why Music is the Ultimate Life Hack (Besides Coffee)

If Plato were alive today, he’d probably be that friend who insists you need to hear his new lyre-heavy mixtape. For the ancient philosopher, music isn’t just background noise, it’s the universe’s soul, the mind’s Red Bull, and the imagination’s driver. But let’s translate that wisdom into modern chaos. Here’s why blasting tunes daily is the best way for mortals to get closer godliness

Morning Music. Without music, waking up is just an alarm-clock bill of generating existential dread. But play Eye of the Tiger at 7 a.m., and suddenly you’re not hitting snooze, you’re Rocky Balboa, sprinting toward the toaster. Plato’s “winged mind” clearly meant, “Skip the caffeine! Just boom the Pirates of the Caribbean theme while brewing coffee.”

Traffic Jams: Now with 100% Flying imagination. Stuck in gridlock? Go ABBA. Your Honda Civic transforms into a glittery disco chariot. Other drivers? Mere backup dancers. Plato promised music gives “charm and gaiety to life,” which we’re pretty sure includes merging onto highways like you’re in a Mad Max musical.

Cooking Dinner Like a Mythical Hero. Chopping onions feels less like a chore and more like a Braveheart battle scene when you’ve got bagpipes thumping in the background. Burned garlic bread as a bonus? Call it “artisanal char.” Music gave your imagination wings, so blame the recipe on Beethoven’s dramatic crescendos.

Grocery Shopping: A Quest for Epicness. Silent supermarkets are just sad spaces. But, try to stroll through hearing Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Suddenly, selecting avocados feels like walking in the blooming countryside. Plato’s “soul to the universe” might explain why the cereal aisle hits different with Bohemian Rhapsody.

Plato was right! Music is life’s cheat code. It turns laundry into Swan Lake, Mondays into mixtapes, and you into the main character (even if your “adventures” involve forgetting passwords). So next time someone scoffs at your shower concerts, hit them with philosophy: “I’m not yelling Don’t Stop Believin’, I’m giving the universe soul.”

Now go forth, mortal. And if Plato asks for royalties, tell him to stick to writing dialogues. We’ve got playlists to curate. And... If your neighbor complains about your tuba practice at 2 a.m., remind them that “charm and gaiety” are non-negotiable. Thanks, Plato!

Thank you for your attention and support

HAVE A NICE DAY!
