00:00If you spend your day with earphones in your ears, I want you to throw them in the nearest trash can and listen to me, because I made this video specifically for you.
00:09A long time ago, when I was a child, I loved raising cats. I had a cat, and since I was born and raised in a third world country and in a poor family, I could only give that cat leftover food.
00:20After lunch, I would give her the leftover potatoes to eat. Sometimes I would give her bread, and she would eat it.
00:25She would eat anything I gave her, and there was no problem. When I grew up a bit, I raised another cat.
00:31This new cat came into my life when I had started working and earning some money, so I began buying her cat food.
00:37Sometimes I would buy her fish and take good care of her. I still remember occasionally, I would bring her bread and put it down for her to eat, but she would sniff it, leave it, and start meowing at me.
00:47At that time, I didn't understand what had happened. How could the previous cat live with me on just bread, and this new cat demanded fancy food?
00:54Later, I realized that the brain of a cat, and the brain of most animals, works in the same way as our human brain.
01:01Imagine a person who always drinks coffee with three teaspoons of sugar. If you give them coffee without sugar one day, they won't be able to drink it because they're used to the sugar.
01:10But another person who always drinks it without sugar will find it normal.
01:13The same thing happens with the brain. A person who plays a lot of games when they try to switch to reading a book after hours of playing,
01:20won't be able to focus because their brain is used to games, movement, and a high level of stimulation.
01:26What's the connection between this and music?
01:28The effect of music on the brain is similar to the effect of sugar and games.
01:33Music causes the brain to release dopamine in large amounts and in an easy way.
01:38Dopamine is simply the hormone that makes you get up and do something.
01:41It makes you wake up, work, read, eat, and play.
01:45When you continuously listen to music a lot, you start getting large amounts of dopamine in an easy way.
01:51And this is what causes addiction.
01:53You become addicted to music, finding that you can't live without it and constantly need to listen to it.
01:58You keep increasing the dose.
02:00You might find that if you want to go for a walk, you need to wear earphones.
02:04If you're at home, you need to play music.
02:06You keep increasing the volume until you become a slave to music and can't live without it.
02:10Your brain gets used to a certain type of pleasure and over time, it happens to you as it happened to the cat I raised.
02:17She got used to good food and when I gave her bread, she didn't want it.
02:20The same thing happens to you.
02:22You start finding ordinary tasks boring and uninteresting because your brain isn't used to sitting and focusing in silence.
02:28Furthermore, your entire life is affected.
02:31Our brain usually needs to live a normal life.
02:33It isn't designed to constantly enjoy and release dopamine for long periods.
02:38When you give it music, that level of pleasure becomes the norm.
02:41And if you deprive your brain of music, it can't function properly.
02:45Therefore, normal activities like sitting, working or walking somewhere become boring to your brain.
02:51Something unenjoyable, even if it's supposed to be normal.
02:54Your brain becomes disturbed and can't calm down or think quietly.
02:58Now, I want you to ask yourself a question.
03:00Is music something enjoyable for you?
03:02Because if you always listen to songs, over time, songs become ordinary.
03:06Something unenjoyable.
03:07If you put on earphones and start listening without feeling anything, run.
03:12You need to take those earphones and throw them in the nearest trash can because you're addicted to songs.
03:17Music should be something good that makes you enjoy it.
03:19And if that's not happening, then you're simply addicted.
03:22This is just one harm of music.
03:24The disturbance it creates in your mind.
03:26Learn to sit in silence.
03:28Learn to listen to your thoughts.
03:29Now, you might tell me that music is good and can help you work well, study well and train well.
03:34Yes, I agree with you.
03:36That's true, but music is like medicine.
03:38It has benefits, but it also has side effects.
03:41Imagine that you have a toothache and you buy a painkiller.
03:44Initially, it will be effective on the first and second day, but over time, the medicine will lose its effect.
03:49If you're someone who has had dental problems, you'll know this.
03:53The painkiller only relieves the pain in the first few days, and after that, it becomes ineffective.
03:58Over time, if you use it too much, it will cause more harm to your health than the pain from your tooth.
04:04The same applies to music and any other addiction.
04:06If you light a cigarette, initially it will be enjoyable.
04:09The second cigarette will be enjoyable too.
04:11It brings you that sweet rush.
04:13But over time, you inhale toxins.
04:15You end up smoking just to get back to your normal state, and all that initial pleasure disappears.
04:20The same thing happens with music.
04:22For example, you start reading, you play music, and you read well.
04:26Over time, when you get used to music, all the benefits you used to get from it will no longer be there.
04:31You won't feel anything, and that's when problems start to appear.
04:34Your brain has a part called the basal ganglia, which is responsible for linking your behaviors.
04:39If you always drink coffee and smoke a cigarette, over time, whenever you drink coffee, you'll crave a cigarette.
04:45When you get used to reading with music, every time you want to read, you'll need music.
04:49The problem is that music will lose its benefits one day and will become like a drug with side effects without any benefit.
04:56In the end, music is like a brain bomb.
04:58Addiction to music can destroy your life.
05:01Please.
