what if ... ?


sleeping peacefully - in a group to conserve heat (actually)

First, we are all animals. Then, we can call ourselves - humans - if and only if we are sure that we are not bit by our conscience. leaving this apart, we as animals, have good, meaning, pretty good sense of smell, taste, touch, vision and hearing. The only problem with this sensory thing is that, it saturates. It stops tingling the brain after some time. effects of this behaviour would be :
a) The first bite of ice-cream, coffee, apple ( keep any food item here) is always tasty. the further bites is no longer sweet or tasty as the first time.
b) Amazing sight of a waterfall is orgasmic. after 5 min of staring and enjoyment, its not interesting anymore.
c) Beautiful song or voice , when heard for first time, is enthralling. we hear it again and again, playing the song back to back. this lasts for a day ? or two ? or probably for an hour until we play another song.
the point is - we get USED TO.
Be it any situation, we get used to.
so, what if, our senses never saturated ? what if our senses would always tingle our brain, when ever we are exposed to such exciting sitiations ?
because of this, the apple / ice-cream would always taste sweet ! every bite would be relished and enjoyed.

But, its best that its not that way. the agony of loosing someone would always tingle the brain. Getting used to for not having the someone would have been impossible.

A perfect nights sleep would then have been impossible !
