I've always been intrigued by the human mind. Mind you, it's the mind (Oh, my gosh! I can make puns!). I'm interested in, not the brain. The mind is like a box within which all a person's thinking done, where quirks of a character is developed, where all the personality, rationality is formed.
Everyday, I find new instances of wonder. 'What's he doing?' 'Why's he doing it this way?' Why do I think it's not being done right? Why am I unable to accept another rationale? My mind processes in a different manner too.
Everyone sees things and matters in a different perspective. Even literally, everyone's eyes perceive different amounts of light. Some see certain colours more vividly, some see better at night. Just like a person's mind, which is a mental 'eye' of sorts. I see more logic in matters being handled in one way rather than another. Someone else might prefer another manner.
Six billion people exist (although we have more than double the number of chickens, they're practically negligible in the intelligence context) so the probability of finding someone who totally agrees with me or you is very low. Should there be such an occurance, could be a freak of nature or stroke of luck. Since I myself said I'll nev er find someone who can agree a hundred percent with me, I must accept that everyone else around me is different. They are not of a higher or lower level than I am (insert smiley face), they're just different. Or it could be just me who's different.
I have to learn to let it go or my heart will just overwork, collapse and give up on me. That can't be a good thing, right? Letting go of differences also helps life feel smoother and easier.
Don't sweat the small stuff. We'll all be happier.
