We are the same...but different.
I like food. When I eat a meal, I savour what I'm eating, yet I don't always feel like eating food, as I get bored with 'everyday' type dishes (e.g. rice, beans & chicken, and fast food menus). Some people wolf down/guzzle their food, not even 'tasting' it; as though the taste buds that God blessed them with, are just there for decorative purposes.What's strange about it, is that we all have basically the same body mechanisms, but don't all make the same use of them. Our taste buds is only one example, but our brain is another. Science once stated that many of us under-utilize our brain (by 90%), but that information has been deemed incorrect. Still, how and what we use our brain for is the real point. Some use their brain to think of positive things, whilst others use theirs for negative things.
Based upon the vast number of evils that are prevalent in our world today, I could understand why so many seem to not take time to savour life, and instead under-utilize or overlook the good that's in the world. But filling our minds and or the mind of others with negative thoughts, instead of positive ones, only exacerbates that 'prevalence'.
It's not the same as 'burying one's head in the sand' by avoiding the negativity. No, it's just a case of avoiding the negativity so that we don't overwhelm our minds. When that happens, it causes depression and some persons can become mentally unstable, and or suicidal. We are the same, but deal with things differently.
Something to remember...
