In a world of 8 billion people, imagine having 8 billion unique personalities in every corner. Everyone is different in their own way. People have different tastes which give them varying preferences.
This brings to mind that one man's meat is another man's poison. What's one person's favorite thing is something that another cannot stand. Our preferences vary greatly and that's a beautiful thing.
It means there is variety everywhere. It means that we all cannot fit in one basket so there are more options to choose from. It's a reminder that the world is a colorful place because everyone identifies with something different.
It would be boring if we all loved the same things and hated the same things. That means that only one common thing would exist for all of us and that would not be exciting. Imagine having the same food all through, only one color to pick from, or one single career for all of us?
The world would be dull, bland, and tasteless. But our preferences work in our favor. They make us work hard for the things we want. We can choose what we want and leave what we don't like for others.
We should also learn to respect each other's choices because they are based on their personal preference. You never know why someone chooses something. It could be because of the way they were raised, their background, education level, beliefs, or personality.
People have their reasons for picking one thing instead of another. Respect their choices the way you would like your choices to be respected. Even when they prefer something that is outrageous and weird to you, let them be. Your own choices could look weird to them too.
Here are preference quotes to help you make a choice and let others pick what they prefer too. Read on.
