The world is made up of lots of great things. One particularly great things is food. Food gives us our nourishment, gives us the energy to move about our day and hopefully, what we are eating tastes good to us.
But not everybody likes to eat the same things. An example of this is cilantro. While many people love the taste of cilantro, it has been proven that some people, like myself, when we eat it, get a flavor very similar to soap. Not very pleasant to get a mouth full of that. There's a reason why your mother threatened you with it.
The great thing is...I don't have to eat cilantro. There are plenty of other choices for me that don't taste like I am sucking on a dish glove.
But for others, cilantro tastes great and they can't see why I don't feel the same way about it. They obviously have never had a mouth full of soapy goodness. And so, thankfully for them, they don't have to ban in from their lives. They can eat it all they want.
Life is a great buffet. It's full of all different kinds of flavors and choices. That's what makes a buffet great. You can choose things you've never tried before or stick to the things you know you like. The price paid is the same. It's the same price unless you're a senior or a child, which, I figure, they let you off the hook with, even metaphorically.
Now, some people might say, "Hey, I don't like cilantro. You should leave that off the buffet. You should exclude it because I don't like it." I personally would agree with that sentiment over cilantro, however, in all things not cilantro, it would just be smarter to let the individuals choose what their preferences are without having to exclude someone else's personal choices. How long do you think a restaurant would be open if they only served one food? No variations to that food. Just that one thing? Probably not very long because they realize that variety is the spice of life (not cilantro).
If you haven't used your common sense to figure out that I'm talking about things other than food, now's the time to step up and use it.
Our planet and the civilization (I use that term loosely) is made up of billions of unique individuals who have likes and dislikes as varied as they are. They choose what they like, just as you do. You are free to choose what you like, but you are not free to choose what someone else will like. It's a buffet. Get what you want, leave what you don't, don't press your face on the sneeze guards and don't stick your hands in the food (common sense). If you only concern yourself with the choices you put on your own plate, chances are, you'll leave happy and needing to loosen your belt. It's all good.
