Today I owe my post to my English teacher. When explaining literature, she said it was a way to express the authors feelings of the world. This can apply to music too. What is music but showing how the composer feels about his surroundings? It's a reaction to what happens to them.
For a science tie in, Newton's 3rd law of motion explains that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Is it so absurd to assume that music and other forms of art are just a human's reaction to their world? I don't think so. In fact, my playing is very reflective of my mood. I can play well on good days, but my playing suffers severely if I'm having a bad day. Is it psychological? Or maybe even physical? I'm not sure if I can decide.
This is just another angle, an additional facet, of music. So be open-minded and explore of its aspects and qualities.

I think that some people play music as a distraction from their lives, and others play it because it's part of their lives. awesome post man!
