Why do people listen to classical music?

Why do people listen to classical music? 
One, it helps them relax and relieve stress, so this is perhaps the principal reason. 
Two, it helps us center the mind, allowing the listener to concentrate. 
Three, classical music provides a vision of a better world, a refuge of beauty, of majesty, perhaps of even--of love--and sometimes, at least for me personally, it suggests that there might be something out there, God or whatever, bigger than ourselves, and it asks us to think sometimes, think about things.
That's what I think these great fine arts do, great literature, poetry, painting, music. 
They show what human beings can be, the capacity of the human spirit. 
They suggest to us as indicated maybe there is something, a larger spirit out there than ourselves, and they get us to think. 
They get me to think frequently about what I'm doing on this earth. What are you doing on this earth?
