Understanding&nbsp;That's the Way of the World&nbsp;requires appreciating Earth, Wind &amp; Fire founder Maurice White's multifaceted vision for his band. White created a band that performed various styles of music that sought to uplift humanity. His musicians personified a new form of Black masculinity rooted in dignity that embraced diverse spiritualities and healthy living. A complete understanding of&nbsp;TTWOTW&nbsp;also necessitates an awareness of American racial dynamics and changes in the popular music industry in the 1960s and '70s. EWF's landmark album&nbsp;TTWOTW&nbsp;presented hopeful messages about the world that were sorely needed at the time.&nbsp;TTWOTW&nbsp;did not tell listeners exactly how to live, but instead how they can live in a quest for self-actualization. The songs encourage us to yearn, learn, love, see, listen, and feel happy. If art can help mold a better future, than EWF's musical legacy of positivity and self-empowerment will continue to contribute to personal growth and social change even as their melodies linger.
