Kada se Robert Gupta našao u dilemi između karijere doktora ili karijere violiniste, shvatio je da je njegovo mesto u sredini, sa gudalom u ruci i sa jakim osećajem za socijalnu pravdu u srcu. On priča dirljivu priču o isključenima iz društva i o snazi muzikoterapije, koja može da bude uspešna tamo gde konvencionalna medicina nije.

A few weeks ago, I saw a video on YouTube
4
154957
1924
Pre par nedelja sam gledao na Jutjubu video
02:52
of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords
5
156881
2280
o kongresmenki Gabrieli Gifords
02:55
at the early stages of her recovery
6
159161
2159
u početnim fazama njenog oporavka
02:57
from one of those awful bullets.
7
161320
2185
od jednog od onih onih strašnih projektila.
02:59
This one entered her left hemisphere, and
8
163505
2121
Jedan je u ušao u njenu levu hemisferu mozga
03:01
knocked out her Broca's area, the speech center of her brain.
9
165626
3516
i uništio joj Brokin centar,
centar za govor u mozgu.
centar za govor u mozgu.
03:05
And in this session, Gabby's working with a speech therapist,
10
169142
3906
U dotičnom tretmanu Gabi
radi sa govornim terapeutom
radi sa govornim terapeutom
03:08
and she's struggling to produce
11
173048
1789
i bori se da proizvede
03:10
some of the most basic words, and you can see her
12
174837
3112
neke od osnovnih reči i
možete da primetite kako
možete da primetite kako
03:13
growing more and more devastated, until she ultimately
13
177949
3179
joj je sve teže i teže,
sve dok se na kraju
sve dok se na kraju
03:17
breaks down into sobbing tears, and she starts sobbing
14
181128
2876
potpuno ne slomi i počne da jeca
03:19
wordlessly into the arms of her therapist.
15
184004
3976
bez reči u naručju svog terapeuta.
03:23
And after a few moments, her therapist tries a new tack,
16
187980
2317
Nakon nekoliko trenutaka njen terapeut
pokušava sa novom tehnikom
pokušava sa novom tehnikom
03:26
and they start singing together,
17
190297
1635
i počinju zajedno da pevaju
03:27
and Gabby starts to sing through her tears,
18
191932
2141
i Gabi počinje da peva kroz suze
03:29
and you can hear her clearly able to enunciate
19
194073
2663
i možete da čujete kako je u stanju da jasno izgovara
03:32
the words to a song that describe the way she feels,
20
196736
2461
reči pesme koja opisuje njene osećaje
03:35
and she sings, in one descending scale, she sings,
21
199197
2920
i ona peva, u silaznoj skali:
03:38
"Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine."
22
202117
3609
"Neka sija, neka sija, neka sija."
03:41
And it's a very powerful and poignant reminder of how
23
205726
2981
To je vrlo snažan i dirljiv podsetnik o tome kako
03:44
the beauty of music has the ability to speak
24
208707
3564
lepota muzike ima sposobnost da govori
03:48
where words fail, in this case literally speak.
25
212271
4776
tamo gde reči podbace,
u ovom slučaju ona bukvalno progovori.
u ovom slučaju ona bukvalno progovori.
03:52
Seeing this video of Gabby Giffords reminded me
26
217047
1753
Gledanje ovog snimka Gabi Gifords me podsetilo
03:54
of the work of Dr. Gottfried Schlaug,
27
218800
2801
na rad doktora Gotfrida Šlauga,
03:57
one of the preeminent neuroscientists studying music and the brain at Harvard,
28
221601
3751
jednog od istaknutih neurologa koji proučava
muziku i mozak na Harvardu,
muziku i mozak na Harvardu,
04:01
and Schlaug is a proponent of a therapy called
29
225352
2419
Šlaug je pobornik terapije nazvane
04:03
Melodic Intonation Therapy, which has become very popular in music therapy now.
30
227771
5013
melodijsko-intonacijska terapija,
koja je sada postala vrlo popularna u muzikoterapiji.
koja je sada postala vrlo popularna u muzikoterapiji.
04:08
Schlaug found that his stroke victims who were aphasic,
31
232784
4323
Šlaug je otkrio da osobe pogođene moždanim udarom
i zahvaćene afazijom,
i zahvaćene afazijom,
04:13
could not form sentences of three- or four-word sentences,
32
237107
4650
koje nisu bile sposobne da formiraju
rečenice od tri ili četiri reči,
rečenice od tri ili četiri reči,
04:17
but they could still sing the lyrics to a song,
33
241757
3303
ipak i dalje mogle da pevaju reči pesme,
04:20
whether it was "Happy Birthday To You"
34
245060
1949
bilo da se radilo o "Srećan ti rođendan"
04:22
or their favorite song by the Eagles or the Rolling Stones.
35
247009
2638
ili o njihovoj omiljenoj pesmi Iglsa ili Roling Stonsa.
04:25
And after 70 hours of intensive singing lessons,
36
249647
2939
Nakon 70 sati intenzivnih časova pevanja,
04:28
he found that the music was able to literally rewire
37
252586
4002
otkrio je da je muzika bila u stanju
da bukvalno ponovo promreži
da bukvalno ponovo promreži
04:32
the brains of his patients and create a homologous
38
256588
2452
mozgove njegovih pacijenata i da stvori odgovarajući
04:34
speech center in their right hemisphere
39
259040
1892
centar za govor u njihovoj desnoj hemisferi
04:36
to compensate for the left hemisphere's damage.
40
260932
3499
da bi nadoknadio oštećenje leve hemisfere.
04:40
When I was 17, I visited Dr. Schlaug's lab, and in one afternoon
41
264431
3385
Kao sedamnaestogodišnjak posećivao sam
laboratoriju doktora Šlauga i jednog popodneva
laboratoriju doktora Šlauga i jednog popodneva
04:43
he walked me through some of the leading research
42
267816
2516
me proveo kroz jedno od vodećih istraživanja
04:46
on music and the brain -- how musicians had
43
270332
3835
o muzici i mozgu - o tome kako su muzičari imali
04:50
fundamentally different brain structure than non-musicians,
44
274167
3064
iz temelja drugačiju strukturu mozga
u odnosu na ne-muzičare,
u odnosu na ne-muzičare,
04:53
how music, and listening to music,
45
277231
1510
kako muzika i slušanje muzike,
04:54
could just light up the entire brain, from
46
278741
2254
može jednostavno da osvetli ceo mozak,
04:56
our prefrontal cortex all the way back to our cerebellum,
47
280995
3474
od prednjeg mozga pa sve do malog mozga,
05:00
how music was becoming a neuropsychiatric modality
48
284469
2827
o tome kako muzika postaje neuropsihijatrijski metod
05:03
to help children with autism, to help people struggling
49
287296
3623
za pomoć autističnoj deci, za pomoć onima koji se bore
05:06
with stress and anxiety and depression,
50
290919
2785
protiv stresa, anksioznosti i depresije,
05:09
how deeply Parkinsonian patients would find that their tremor
51
293704
3415
kako se teško obolelim od parkinsonove bolesti
primetno smirivalo podrhtavanje
primetno smirivalo podrhtavanje
05:13
and their gait would steady when they listened to music,
52
297119
3381
i hod postajao stabilniji kada bi slušali muziku
05:16
and how late-stage Alzheimer's patients, whose dementia
53
300500
3409
i kako bi oboleli od Alchajmerove bolesti,
čija je senilna demencija
čija je senilna demencija
05:19
was so far progressed that they could no longer recognize
54
303909
2896
toliko uznapredovala da nisu više prepoznavali
05:22
their family, could still pick out a tune by Chopin
55
306805
2786
svoju porodicu, još uvek mogli
prepoznati Šopenovu melodiju
prepoznati Šopenovu melodiju
05:25
at the piano that they had learned when they were children.
56
309591
3662
za klavir koju su naučili kada su bili deca.
05:29
But I had an ulterior motive of visiting Gottfried Schlaug,
57
313253
3047
Ali imao sam još jedan razlog za posetu Gotfridu Šlaugu,
05:32
and it was this: that I was at a crossroads in my life,
58
316300
3218
a to je: nalazio sam se na raskrsnici svog života,
05:35
trying to choose between music and medicine.
59
319518
2785
pokušavajući da izaberem između muzike i medicine.
05:38
I had just completed my undergraduate, and I was working
60
322303
2961
Upravo sam završio svoj redovni studij i radio sam
05:41
as a research assistant at the lab of Dennis Selkoe,
61
325264
2873
kao asistent u laboratoriju Denisa Selkoa,
05:44
studying Parkinson's disease at Harvard, and I had fallen
62
328137
3463
proučavao sam Parkinsonovu bolest na Harvardu
i zaljubio sam se
i zaljubio sam se
05:47
in love with neuroscience. I wanted to become a surgeon.
63
331600
2867
u neurologiju. Želeo sam da postanem hirurg.
05:50
I wanted to become a doctor like Paul Farmer or Rick Hodes,
64
334467
3778
Hteo sam da postanem doktor
poput Pola Farmera ili Rika Hodsa,
poput Pola Farmera ili Rika Hodsa,
05:54
these kind of fearless men who go into places like Haiti or Ethiopia
65
338245
4117
tih neustrašivih ljudi koji su odlazili
na mesta kao Haiti ili Etiopija
na mesta kao Haiti ili Etiopija
05:58
and work with AIDS patients with multidrug-resistant
66
342362
2831
i radili sa obolelima od SIDE
sa tuberkulozom višestruko otpornom
sa tuberkulozom višestruko otpornom
06:01
tuberculosis, or with children with disfiguring cancers.
67
345193
3789
na lekove ili sa decom koja su se raspadala od raka.
06:04
I wanted to become that kind of Red Cross doctor,
68
348982
2924
Hteo sam da postanem takav doktor Crvenog krsta,
06:07
that doctor without borders.
69
351906
2004
takav doktor bez granica.
06:09
On the other hand, I had played the violin my entire life.
70
353910
3543
Sa druge strane, svirao sam violinu celog svog života.
06:13
Music for me was more than a passion. It was obsession.
71
357453
3742
Muzika je za mene bila više od strasti. Bila je opsesija.
06:17
It was oxygen. I was lucky enough to have studied
72
361195
3163
Bila je kiseonik. Imao sam sreću da studiram
06:20
at the Juilliard School in Manhattan, and to have played
73
364358
3079
na Džulijardu na Menhetnu i da sviram
06:23
my debut with Zubin Mehta and the Israeli philharmonic orchestra in Tel Aviv,
74
367437
4355
svoj prvi koncert sa Zubinom Mehtom
i Izraelskom filharmonijom u Tel Avivu
i Izraelskom filharmonijom u Tel Avivu
06:27
and it turned out that Gottfried Schlaug
75
371792
2038
i ispostavilo se da je Gotfrid Šlaug
06:29
had studied as an organist at the Vienna Conservatory,
76
373830
3224
studirao orgulje na Bečkom konzervatorijumu,
06:32
but had given up his love for music to pursue a career
77
377054
2383
ali je odustao od svoje ljubavi prema muzici
da bi nastavio karijeru
da bi nastavio karijeru
06:35
in medicine. And that afternoon, I had to ask him,
78
379437
3681
u medicini. Tog poslepodneva sam morao da ga pitam:
06:39
"How was it for you making that decision?"
79
383118
2536
"Kako ti je bilo kod donošenja te odluke?"
06:41
And he said that there were still times when he wished
80
385654
2029
Odgovorio je da i dalje ponekad zaželi da
06:43
he could go back and play the organ the way he used to,
81
387683
2772
svira orgulje kao što je to nekada radio
06:46
and that for me, medical school could wait,
82
390455
3217
i da u mom slučaju škola medicine može da čeka,
06:49
but that the violin simply would not.
83
393672
2775
a da violina to jednostavno ne može.
06:52
And after two more years of studying music, I decided
84
396447
2560
Posle još dve godine muzičkog usavršavanja, odlučio sam
06:54
to shoot for the impossible before taking the MCAT
85
399007
2809
da pokušam nemoguće pre nego što se pojavim
na prijemnom ispitu za medicinu
na prijemnom ispitu za medicinu
06:57
and applying to medical school like a good Indian son
86
401816
2576
i upišem se na fakultet kao poslušan indijski sin
07:00
to become the next Dr. Gupta. (Laughter)
87
404392
2858
kako bih postao novi dr Gupta.
(Smeh)
(Smeh)
07:03
And I decided to shoot for the impossible and I took
88
407250
2632
Tako sam odlučio da pokušam nemoguće i pojavio sam se
07:05
an audition for the esteemed Los Angeles Philharmonic.
89
409882
2943
na audiciji za cenjenu Los Anđelosku filharmoniju.
07:08
It was my first audition, and after three days of playing
90
412825
3002
To je bila moja prva audicija i nakon tri dana sviranja,
07:11
behind a screen in a trial week, I was offered the position.
91
415827
3026
probne nedelje iza scene, ponudili su mi mesto.
07:14
And it was a dream. It was a wild dream to perform
92
418853
3918
A to je bio san. Bio je neverovatan san biti član
07:18
in an orchestra, to perform in the iconic Walt Disney Concert Hall
93
422771
3500
orkestra i svirati u kultnoj Koncertnoj sali Volta Diznija,
07:22
in an orchestra conducted now by the famous Gustavo Dudamel,
94
426271
3584
u orkestru kojim sada diriguje
poznati Gustavo Dudamel,
poznati Gustavo Dudamel,
07:25
but much more importantly to me to be surrounded
95
429855
2986
ali za mene je bilo još daleko
važnije to što sam bio okružen
važnije to što sam bio okružen
07:28
by musicians and mentors that became my new family,
96
432841
3890
muzičarima i mentorima koji su
postali moja nova porodica,
postali moja nova porodica,
07:32
my new musical home.
97
436731
3194
moj novi muzički dom.
07:35
But a year later, I met another musician who had also
98
439925
3710
Ali godinu dana kasnije, sreo sam
još jednog muzičara koji je takođe
još jednog muzičara koji je takođe
07:39
studied at Juilliard, one who profoundly helped me
99
443635
3089
studirao na Džulijardu, koji mi je posebno pomogao
07:42
find my voice and shaped my identity as a musician.
100
446724
4358
da pronađem svoj način izražavanja
i oblikujem svoj muzički identitet.
i oblikujem svoj muzički identitet.
07:46
Nathaniel Ayers was a double bassist at Juilliard, but
101
451082
3281
Natanijel Ajers je bio kontrabasista
na Džulijardu, ali je kao
na Džulijardu, ali je kao
07:50
he suffered a series of psychotic episodes in his early 20s,
102
454363
3739
dvadesetogodišnjak imao
seriju psihotičnih epizoda,
seriju psihotičnih epizoda,
07:54
was treated with thorazine at Bellevue,
103
458102
2346
lečen je hloropromazinom u Belvjuu
07:56
and ended up living homeless on the streets of Skid Row
104
460448
3476
i 30 godina kasnije je završio kao beskućnik
na ulicama Skid Roa
na ulicama Skid Roa
07:59
in downtown Los Angeles 30 years later.
105
463924
2446
u centralnom Los Anđelesu.
08:02
Nathaniel's story has become a beacon for homelessness
106
466370
3445
Natanijelova sudbina je bacila
novo svetlo na beskućništvo
novo svetlo na beskućništvo
08:05
and mental health advocacy throughout the United States,
107
469815
2858
i na prevenciju mentalnog zdravlja
u Sjedinjenim Državama,
u Sjedinjenim Državama,
08:08
as told through the book and the movie "The Soloist,"
108
472673
2145
kao što je prikazano u knjizi i u filmu "Solista",
08:10
but I became his friend, and I became his violin teacher,
109
474818
3146
ali ja sam postao njegov prijatelj
i postao sam njegov učitelj violine
i postao sam njegov učitelj violine
08:13
and I told him that wherever he had his violin,
110
477964
2510
i rekao sam mu da gde god bude imao svoju violinu
08:16
and wherever I had mine, I would play a lesson with him.
111
480474
2971
i gde god ja budem imao svoju,
da ćemo održati naš čas.
da ćemo održati naš čas.
08:19
And on the many times I saw Nathaniel on Skid Row,
112
483445
2679
U mnogim trenucima u kojima
sam video Natanijela na Skid Rou,
sam video Natanijela na Skid Rou,
08:22
I witnessed how music was able to bring him back
113
486124
2809
video sam kako je muzika mogla da ga povrati
08:24
from his very darkest moments, from what seemed to me
114
488933
2967
iz njegovih najcrnjih trenutaka, iz onoga što je meni
08:27
in my untrained eye to be
115
491900
1960
i mom neuvežbanom oku izgledalo
08:29
the beginnings of a schizophrenic episode.
116
493860
3800
kao početak šizofrenične epizode.
08:33
Playing for Nathaniel, the music took on a deeper meaning,
117
497660
3254
Svirati za Natanijela, muzika je dobila dublje značenje
08:36
because now it was about communication,
118
500914
2558
jer se tu radilo o komunikaciji,
08:39
a communication where words failed, a communication
119
503472
2910
komunikaciji tamo gde su reči zakazale, komunikaciji
08:42
of a message that went deeper than words, that registered
120
506382
3158
poruke koja treba da prodre dublje od reči, koja je upisana
08:45
at a fundamentally primal level in Nathaniel's psyche,
121
509540
3489
u osnovnom nagonskom nivou Natanijelove psihe
08:48
yet came as a true musical offering from me.
122
513029
4547
i koja dolazi kao istinski muzički poklon od mene.
08:53
I found myself growing outraged that someone
123
517576
3977
Postajao sam sve ogorčeniji zato što neko
08:57
like Nathaniel could have ever been homeless on Skid Row
124
521553
3909
poput Natanijela može da završi kao
beskućnik na Skid Rou
beskućnik na Skid Rou
09:01
because of his mental illness, yet how many tens of thousands
125
525462
3339
zbog svoje mentalne bolesti
i koliko ima još desetina hiljada
i koliko ima još desetina hiljada
09:04
of others there were out there on Skid Row alone
126
528801
3105
drugih koji su sami tamo
na Skid Rou, sa podjednako
na Skid Rou, sa podjednako
09:07
who had stories as tragic as his, but were never going to have a book or a movie
127
531906
4756
tragičnom sudbinom, ali za razliku od njega
nikad neće imati knjigu ili film
nikad neće imati knjigu ili film
09:12
made about them that got them off the streets?
128
536662
2262
o sebi koji bi ih mogli skloniti sa ulice?
09:14
And at the very core of this crisis of mine, I felt somehow
129
538924
4013
U samoj srži te svoje krize, osetio sam kako
09:18
the life of music had chosen me, where somehow,
130
542937
4095
je muzički život izabrao mene i nekako,
09:22
perhaps possibly in a very naive sense, I felt what Skid Row
131
547032
2969
možda verovatno u vrlo naivnom smislu,
osetio sam da je Skid Rou
osetio sam da je Skid Rou
09:25
really needed was somebody like Paul Farmer
132
550001
3011
zaista potreban neko poput Paula Farmera
09:28
and not another classical musician playing on Bunker Hill.
133
553012
4141
i ne još jedan klasični muzičar
koji svira na Bunker Hilu.
koji svira na Bunker Hilu.
09:33
But in the end, it was Nathaniel who showed me
134
557153
2050
Na kraju, Natanijel je bio taj koji mi je pokazao
09:35
that if I was truly passionate about change,
135
559203
2727
da ako sam zaista posvećen
tome da nešto promenim,
tome da nešto promenim,
09:37
if I wanted to make a difference, I already had the perfect instrument to do it,
136
561930
4323
ako sam zaista hteo da napravim razliku,
već sam imao savršen instrument za to,
već sam imao savršen instrument za to,
09:42
that music was the bridge that connected my world and his.
137
566253
4769
muzika je bila most koji je
povezao moj svet sa njegovim.
povezao moj svet sa njegovim.
09:46
There's a beautiful quote
138
571022
1672
Postoji lep citat
09:48
by the Romantic German composer Robert Schumann,
139
572694
2464
romantičarskog nemačkog
kompozitora Roberta Šumana,
kompozitora Roberta Šumana,
09:51
who said, "To send light into the darkness of men's hearts,
140
575158
5209
koji je rekao: "Poslati zrak svetlosti
u tamu ljudskih srdaca,
u tamu ljudskih srdaca,
09:56
such is the duty of the artist."
141
580367
2425
eto to je dužnost umetnika."
09:58
And this is a particularly poignant quote
142
582792
2436
To je posebno dirljiv citat
10:01
because Schumann himself suffered from schizophrenia
143
585228
2739
jer je i sam Šuman patio od šizofrenije
10:03
and died in asylum.
144
587967
2108
i umro u utočištu.
10:05
And inspired by what I learned from Nathaniel,
145
590075
2462
Inspirisan onim što sam naučio od Natanijela,
10:08
I started an organization on Skid Row of musicians
146
592537
2364
osnovao sam organizaciju muzičara na Skid Rou
10:10
called Street Symphony, bringing the light of music
147
594901
3193
nazvanu Ulična simfonija,
koja donosi svetlost muzike
koja donosi svetlost muzike
10:13
into the very darkest places, performing
148
598094
2644
u najmračnija mesta, koja svira
10:16
for the homeless and mentally ill at shelters and clinics
149
600738
2587
za beskućnike i mentalno bolesne
u prihvatilištima i klinikama
u prihvatilištima i klinikama
10:19
on Skid Row, performing for combat veterans
150
603325
4030
na Skid Rou, koja svira za ratne veterane
10:23
with post-traumatic stress disorder, and for the incarcerated
151
607355
3410
sa post-traumatskim stresnim
poremećajima i za zatvorenike
poremećajima i za zatvorenike
10:26
and those labeled as criminally insane.
152
610765
3804
i one koji su označeni kao kriminalno ludi.
10:30
After one of our events at the Patton State Hospital
153
614569
2393
Posle jednog od naših koncerata
u Državnoj bolnici Paton
u Državnoj bolnici Paton
10:32
in San Bernardino, a woman walked up to us
154
616962
2521
u San Bernardinu, jedna žena nam je prišla
10:35
and she had tears streaming down her face,
155
619483
2317
i suze su joj tekle niz lice,
10:37
and she had a palsy, she was shaking,
156
621800
2466
a imala je paralizu, tresla se,
10:40
and she had this gorgeous smile, and she said
157
624266
3022
ali je imala i taj predivan osmeh i rekla je
10:43
that she had never heard classical music before,
158
627288
1982
da nikad ranije nije čula klasičnu muziku,
10:45
she didn't think she was going to like it, she had never
159
629270
2426
nije ni pomišljala da bi joj se svidela, nije nikada ranije
10:47
heard a violin before, but that hearing this music was like hearing the sunshine,
160
631696
4102
čula zvuk violine i slušanje ove muzike je
bilo poput slušanja sunčeve svetlosti,
bilo poput slušanja sunčeve svetlosti,
10:51
and that nobody ever came to visit them, and that for the first time in six years,
161
635798
3369
nikada niko nije došao da ih poseti,
i da je, prvi put u šest godina,
i da je, prvi put u šest godina,
10:55
when she heard us play, she stopped shaking without medication.
162
639167
4803
kada je čula naše sviranje,
prestala da se trese bez pomoći lekova.
prestala da se trese bez pomoći lekova.
10:59
Suddenly, what we're finding with these concerts,
163
643970
2958
Iznenada, ono što smo otkrili uz ove koncerte,
11:02
away from the stage, away from the footlights, out
164
646928
3042
daleko od bine, daleko od svetlosti pozornice, daleko
11:05
of the tuxedo tails, the musicians become the conduit
165
649970
3621
od smokinga, je da su muzičari postali sredstvo
11:09
for delivering the tremendous therapeutic benefits
166
653591
3122
za davanje neverovatnih terapeutskih koristi koje muzika
11:12
of music on the brain to an audience that would never
167
656713
3093
daje mozgu publike koja nikada ne bi imala priliku
11:15
have access to this room,
168
659806
1802
da uđe u ovu sobu,
11:17
would never have access to the kind of music that we make.
169
661608
5832
nikada ne bi imala pristup
toj vrsti muzike koju mi sviramo.
toj vrsti muzike koju mi sviramo.
11:23
Just as medicine serves to heal more
170
667440
3431
Kao što medicina služi da bi lečila više
11:26
than the building blocks of the body alone,
171
670871
3298
od sastavnih delova samog tela,
11:30
the power and beauty of music transcends the "E"
172
674169
3767
snaga i lepota muzike nadilazi "E"
11:33
in the middle of our beloved acronym.
173
677936
2735
u sredini našeg voljenog akronima.
11:36
Music transcends the aesthetic beauty alone.
174
680671
3638
Muzika nadilazi samu estetsku lepotu.
11:40
The synchrony of emotions that we experience when we
175
684309
3010
Sinhronizacija emocija koju doživljavamo kada
11:43
hear an opera by Wagner, or a symphony by Brahms,
176
687319
3257
slušamo Vagnerovu operu ili Bramsovu simfoniju
11:46
or chamber music by Beethoven, compels us to remember
177
690576
3646
ili Betovenovu kamernu muziku,
prisiljava nas da se setimo
prisiljava nas da se setimo
11:50
our shared, common humanity, the deeply communal
178
694222
3908
naše zajedničke ljudskosti koju delimo, duboko javno
11:54
connected consciousness, the empathic consciousness
179
698130
3415
povezane svesti, empatične svesti
11:57
that neuropsychiatrist Iain McGilchrist says is hard-wired
180
701545
3573
za koju je neuropsihijatar Ian MekGilkrist
rekao da je jako prožičena
rekao da je jako prožičena
12:01
into our brain's right hemisphere.
181
705118
3076
u desnoj hemisferi našeg mozga.
12:04
And for those living in the most dehumanizing conditions
182
708194
3396
Za one koje žive u vrlo nehumanim uslovima
12:07
of mental illness within homelessness
183
711590
2161
mentalne bolesti unutar beskućništva
12:09
and incarceration, the music and the beauty of music
184
713751
2783
i zatvoreništva, muzika i lepota muzike
12:12
offers a chance for them to transcend the world around them,
185
716534
4632
pružaju priliku da nadiđu svet oko sebe
12:17
to remember that they still have the capacity to experience
186
721166
3382
i da se podsete da još uvek
imaju sposobnost da dožive
imaju sposobnost da dožive
12:20
something beautiful and that humanity has not forgotten them.
187
724548
3952
nešto predivno i da ih čovečanstvo nije zaboravilo.
12:24
And the spark of that beauty, the spark of that humanity
188
728500
2861
Iskra te lepote, iskra te ljudskosti
12:27
transforms into hope,
189
731361
2800
se pretvara u nadu
12:30
and we know, whether we choose the path of music
190
734161
2960
i znamo, bez obzira da li smo izabrali put muzike
12:33
or of medicine, that's the very first thing we must instill
191
737121
3209
ili medicine, upravo to je prva stvar koju moramo usaditi
12:36
within our communities, within our audiences,
192
740330
1939
unutar naše zajednice, unutar naše publike,
12:38
if we want to inspire healing from within.
193
742269
3931
ako želimo da potaknemo lečenje iznutra.
12:42
I'd like to end with a quote by John Keats,
194
746200
2676
Voleo bih da završim citatom Džona Kitsa,
12:44
the Romantic English poet,
195
748876
2045
romantičarskog engleskog pesnika,
12:46
a very famous quote that I'm sure all of you know.
196
750921
2938
poznatim citatom za koji sam uveren
da ga svi vi poznajete.
da ga svi vi poznajete.
12:49
Keats himself had also given up a career in medicine
197
753859
3019
Kits je takođe odustao od medicinske karijere
12:52
to pursue poetry, but he died when he was a year older than me.
198
756878
3321
da bi se bavio poezijom, ali je umro
kada je imao godinu dana više od mene.
kada je imao godinu dana više od mene.
12:56
And Keats said, "Beauty is truth, and truth beauty.
199
760199
5073
Kits je rekao: "Lepota je istina, istina je lepota.
13:01
That is all ye know on Earth, and all ye need to know."
200
765272
6498
To je sve što znate na zemlji i sve što treba da znate."
