the appreciation of things

Anxious, nervous and excited all at the same time. The feeling of showing of something meaningful and close to your heart. The anticipation of sharing what you love and adore. All the details usually overseen to the unsuspecting eye, all the time and dedication to get it just right. Who else would ever understand it just the same?

We all know just how we feel about the things we dedicate our time towards and the type of satisfaction we get from doing it and it doesn't stop there since we know and appreciate the details of doing it just as perfectly as we can!

Artists appreciate the critique of other artists better than the layman on the street since they can appreciate the intricacies and effort put into it, as well as the symbolization of the techniques used, also the meanings of all these things put together to create the final product. In the same way musicians appreciate the critique of other musicians etc.

This also does apply to us in every way, since we are always looking at things from our perspective first, then from the perspective of the people and community around us. We all have a certain level of appreciation for things we can understand and use. we all appreciate just how we like our toast buttered, or for some of us who have tea, we appreciate the difference in adding just boiling water or rather having the tea brewed.

What i feel we lack is an appreciation for things that are different and seem foreign. We cannot totally appreciate everything as we don't totally understand it, but we do have the capacity to understand that there is an appreciation to it, such as the person that has a better understanding of it will do.

Sometimes our opinions are based on what information we get generally from around us, such as people studying all the time are boring and do not make good friends, yet throughout our lives we use stuff that these people have thought of, invent and implement so that we can live comfortable lives. We do not appreciate the detail and considerations of others fully in all aspects as we should.

Even though we cannot appreciate everything, we can at least do our best to understand there is an appreciation. This would make us less selfish and open to ideas, thoughts and differences we are capable of.
