- Singing is the purpose of life.
- Singing requires intellectual contemplation, for this is the ultimate realization of our rational capacities.
- Singing depends on acquiring a moral character, where one displays the virtues of courage, generosity, justice, friendship, and citizenship in one’s life. These virtues involve striking a balance or “mean” between an excess and a deficiency.
- Singing is perfection in imperfection as it is not just acceptance, it is a celebration of the past, present and future.
- Singing is hard, but it can be achieved now.
