I guess every human being (most probably during childhood and adolescence) makes an earnest attempt at finding inner, true, real self inside.

But upon finding emptiness there it goes haywire. Then the search continues outside: fame, power, money, etc.

Internet makes the society look quite radical and polarized. But actually, it’s only a small proportion of whole population.

Overgeneralisation at play.

Good people need to speak more, speak louder.

In short, the bridge you strengthen at the piano becomes a bridge for daily life—coordination, switching, and composure under load.

Emotionally, there’s a quiet ease. When the hands learn to disagree gracefully—3:2 rhythms, independent voicings—the mind often mirrors that tolerance: less internal tug‑of‑war, more coordinated dialogue.

It also supports steadier attention under complexity. Reading music while listening to dynamics, or juggling meetings while tracking notes, benefits from the brain’s improved ability to share and inhibit signals between hemispheres.

You switch tasks faster: moving from writing to reaching for a mug, or from melody to accompaniment, feels like a crisp handoff rather than a mental gear grind.

You’ll notice smoother bimanual coordination—tying shoelaces, chopping vegetables, or typing feel more fluid because each hand can follow its own plan without “echoing” the other.
