Afri-InLeo Initiative 25 : Can Listening to Secular music have effects on your spirituality?
They say what we do always have the reflection of anything we think in our mind and that is what make music so powerful because anything thing we hear or listen to can actually have a great effect on the mind and body because they are one, the soul and the body. So before going more generally on he topic for the initiative, i will just like to talk on the meaning of somethings in the topic so i hope you stay tune till the end of the post to check out all, so let's start with secular, what does it really mean.
What does secular actually means and i will be treating them gradually. Secular actually means something generally that do not relate to any religious or anything spiritual belief and now relating it to music it is very clear what that means, secular music refer to the music that do not have any spiritual or religious message passed across to the listener now when we say secular music is a wordly belief doesn't mean that all things done in a secular way are all bad because even if a song doesn't entail spirituality there are song that will surely teach morals also.
Looking back to those days when our fore father do listen to music which are secular and we do say they are evergreen song, most are not spiritual songs but they have lot of message in it to pass across to the listener and this do not affect that way of life but i don't think that can be compared to this generation, coming back to the topic does listening to secular music have effect on your spiritually. To me i will yes and no, you might be saying i am yet to decide but the reason for me picking that answer is due to the fact some olden secular song are still helpful in some ways which always help most tackle issues of life.
Anything that can pollute the mind should be avoided, the kind of song which are been received are not song that can be encouraging to listen to, imagine song telling people to break bottle and stuff like that which always make one misbehave. I have seen a very young girl who is not more than 5 and i listened to her singing a particular and she was also singing along which brought me to the funny part is that no one taught her that song but she already master it all.
The kind of secular music this period is the which someone who is trying to be whole must distance him or herself from anything secular that can derial one from the right part. Secular music can actually have a greater effect on the spiritually because those producing the song itself do not see so thing bad in what they do. The best thing is just to stay away from the secular music that are not always doing anything better so there wont be an issue in the spiritual space.
