The following is a clip from an article detailing a social experiment the Washington Post set up in 2007. You can read the entire article and watch some video footage here:


Do you think you would have stopped to listen?  As I pondered to myself whether I would have stopped, I realize this is about something else completely!  I am disappointed that I do not know the difference between good or bad violin playing or how to appreciate great classical music!   The beauty is in the knowledge of the thing.  We need to learn about something before it can be fully appreciated.  Imagine seeing some dude set up a 135lb barbell at a random location and perform perfect clean and jerks.  You would not only stop and watch, but you would judge his form and calculate how many reps he has done in how long.  Sure this activity would gather a crowd, but they would only stare in wonder and confusion while you enjoyed the beauty of the moment, because you understand.
