Hey Owlkat -

To be completely unable to understand or even respect someone else's aesthetic appreciation of whatever is nothing to be proud of.

I have loved military airplanes all my life (probably because I flew them in ANOTHER life...), but I am also keenly aware that they are a useless and destructive expenditure of human effort, built to murder and destroy. Thus, I am now a pacifist.

Roman soldiers also murdered and destroyed...but they are a stirring sight to see in a movie, aren't they?

Aztec warriors were utterly glorious looking. They also murdered and destroyed.

And so it goes.

I find apple trees beatiful also, but there is simply no use comparing them to a P-51 Mustang...it would be like comparing the planet Jupiter to a digital camera...pointless.

So stop obsessing over the fact that everyone doesn't like or dislike the same things in the same exact way that you do. Who really cares? One person's tedium is another person's joy, and there is no harm in that. Start a thread about apple trees instead of dumping on this thread.
