Essay & Composition Writing
To see something as
Hiya!
I have this sentence that puzzles me:
"But we don’t see that as something brought by our education into our everyday conduct."
The context from it's taken: (This is a sort of analogy to life.)
"In music, one doesn’t make the end of a composition the point of the composition. If that were so, the best conductors would be those who played fastest; and there would be composers who wrote only finales. People would go to concerts only to hear one crashing chord, because that’s the end.
But we don’t see that as something brought by our education into our everyday conduct."
I can't decide whether it means:
A; We don't look at it as...
B; We can't see this because of the way we are educated. (So it's an underlying thing.)
Thank you!
