that attitude

I hate the attitude that some people have at concerts - that of going to see a most serious 'high-class' intellectual, emotional, and artistic experience, obliging to the power of formality, stripping music of its most obvious function: to sound itself.

How is it that in Western societies we've ended up placing ourselves above everything else so essential to us, above Nature, above Art, above Survival, that there has to be a relation of a slave and a Master, of better and worse, of more and less, instead of just seeing things as they are and just experience them?

Why do we have to be, instead of just letting be? (us and others)
