Isn't it strange how some people can love, adore, worship something and others will just look confused, pull faces or say, with a barely concealed sneer, "No. Thank. You."
We're all human and wired up pretty much the same way, but boy oh boy can we like different things!
Like I love brussel sprouts, always have! As a kid that marked me as queer (odd not gay but you knew that so quit snickering) and as an adult it's still something people find odd. I can't imagine why, they taste so yummy!
But then I find there are people out there who love avocados! I kid you not! Something I don't even see as a food source and they're chomping it down on bread or as guacamole and they don't even grimace when they do! Oh how the mind boggles! How can you do that to your tastebuds? Have you no shame?!
I always wonder to what purpose that is though? Why do some like x and others like y and a few twisted individuals form the cult of z?
Sure you could say it's environmental issues, genetic swerves, how you were brought up or that traumatic event with the Vaseline when you were 12, but my question is more, why do humans vary so much? A survival trait? A natural quirk? Boredom till someone says, "Oh bob, lets try eat the cat!"
I suspect it's because the 'Powers That Be' enjoy being entertained! Us humans are a quirky lot! I suspect if I was a deity I could watch us people for millennia! (Then get bored, wipe us out and bring back the dinosaurs! T-Rex, Raaawr!!!)
Well I guess I don't mind. If you're love of avos keeps you from eating all the things I want, or your love of blue means I get to buy the last green scarf, well then hey, all's well that ends well!
