knowledge about everything is available to each person in the manner that suits him or

MUSIC AND ART
Humans, being backward, are still unable to speak one common language. Until this
human aspiration is attained, which seems impossible, the expression of joy and sorrow,
of what is good and bad, beautiful and ugly, comfortable and miserable, mortal and
eternal, love and hatred, the description of colours, sentiments, tastes and moods - all will
be expressed according to the language each person speaks spontaneously. Behaviour
itself will result from the reaction produced by the feeling that the language creates in the
speaker's mind.
Learning a single language, whatever it may be, is not the solution for the time being. It is
a problem that will inevitably remain without solution until the process of the unification of
languages has passed through time, provided that the hereditary factor loses its effect on
subsequent generations through the passage of sufficient time. The sentiment, taste and
mood of ancestors form those of their descendants. If those ancestors spoke different
languages and their children, on the contrary, speak a single language, the off-spring
would not necessarily share common tastes in virtue of speaking a common language.
Such common tastes can be achieved only when the new language imparts the taste and
the sense transmitted by inheritance from one generation to another.
If one group of people wears white clothes in mourning and another group puts on black,
the sentiment of each group will be adjusted according to these two colours, i.e., one
group rejects the black colour on such an occasion while the other one prefers it, and vice
versa. Such a sentiment leaves its physical effect on the cells as well as on the genes in
the body. This adaptation, will be transmitted by inheritance. The inheritors automatically
reject the colour rejected by the legator as a result of inheriting the sentiment of their
legator. Consequently, people are only harmonious with their own arts and heritage. They
are not harmonious with the arts of others because of heredity, even though those people,
who differ in heritage, speak a single common language.
Such a difference emerges between the groups of one people, even if it is on a small scale.
To learn a single language is not the problem, and to understand others' arts as a result of
learning their language is also not the problem. The problem is the impossibility of a real
intuitional adaptation to the language of others.
This will remain impossible until the effects of heredity, which are transmitted in the
human body, come to an end.
Mankind is still backward because humans do not communicate in one inherited common
language. It is only a matter of time before mankind, achieves that goal, unless civilization
should relapse.
SPORT, HORSEMANSHlP AND THE STAGE
Sport is either private, like the prayer which one performs alone inside a closed room, or
public, performed collectively in open places, like the prayer which is practised
corporately in places of worship. The first type of sport concerns the individuals
themselves, while the second type is of concern to all people. It must be practised by all
31
and should not be left to anyone else to practise on their behalf. It is unreasonable for
crowds to enter places of worship just to view a person or a group of people praying
without taking part. It is equally unreasonable for crowds to enter playgrounds and arenas
to watch a player of a team without participating themselves.
Sport is like praying, eating, and the feelings of coolness and warmth. It is unlikely that
crowds will enter a restaurant just to look at a person or a group of people eat. It is also
unlikely that they will let a person or a group or people enjoy warmth or ventilation on their
behalf. It is equally illogical for the society to allow an individual or a team to monopolize
sports while the society as a whole pays the costs of such a monopoly for the exclusive
benefit of one person or team. In the same way, people should not allow an individual or a
group, whether it is a party, class, sect, tribe or parliament, to replace them in deciding
their destiny and in defining their needs.
Private sport is of concern only to those who practise it on their own and at their own
expense. Public sport is a public need and the people cannot be either democratically or
physically represented by others in its practice. Physically, the representative cannot
transmit to others how his body and morale benefit from sport. Democratically, no
individual or team has the right to monopolize sport, power, wealth or arms for
themselves. Sporting clubs represent the basic organization of traditional sport in the
