Just a random thought, for my first ever contribution!

I think perception is important. Important enough to be foundational in our appreciation of whats around us.

One's perception determines the interpretation of what one sees, hears, feels, smells and tastes. This is known as sense perception, to be more specific. Without proper sense perception, one will never be able to fully appreciate the true (or lack of) beauty of things they encounter. But then again, do you really need perfect taste buds to truly enjoy fried, crispy chicken? do you really need a perfect sense of hearing to know that chirping birds sound better than gunshots? Would you not know that shit is unpleasant if you had a blocked nose?

I think what your senses tell you, and what your mind tells you, are 2 different things (pardon me for the weird english).

Your senses send impulses to the brain to alert the brain of whatever you have encountered. But how one reacts to it differs among different people. Does everyone have different kinds of senses? everyone still has the same 5 senses (6, for some). But I think opinion also plays a role. Opinions differ among people, which probably explains different interpretations between people. One man's David Cook is another man's David Archuleta. Tastes differ among people.

SO WHY DOES TASTE DIFFER AMONG PEOPLE?

I think that is the question.

Truly the rambling of a bored NSF
