Many people are very enthusiastic in telling others what they like. Often, such a statement means that they like that with which they are familiar as opposed to what exists.

When we are born we have certain inborn traits which are a deciding factor in our behavior. At that time we don’t really know what we like in aesthetics. As we experience life and are exposed to many different choices we tend to go in certain directions. The more to which we are exposed, the more we grow and increase our knowledge and broaden our horizons.

At the beginning, every thing is a new experience. We don’t know what we will experience in the future and such is true for the entirety of our lives. After a period of time, many people get set in their ways and limit themselves to what they already know and insist upon staying in that position. Everything else is not on their radar.

Thus, when it comes to aesthetics, it may be wise and enlightening to get out of such a box and let in some fresh air.

Look round. Observe. Try new approaches. Educate yourself. Research. Don’t limit yourself. Be free.

When such is completed, if you still like the same aesthetics, it will be on a higher and more enjoyable and appreciative level. And there is the possibility that you will discover something which you like even better. You may discover some things which you did not know existed before which can be a joyous surprise.

Life is an ever growing and expanding experience. Let your driving direction be forward and not via the rear view mirror. Join in and don’t sit on the side line. Live and not merely exist.

Food for thought.
