I was in a Starbucks the other day* and liked the song they were playing, so I Shazamed it. Then I noticed how beautiful a painting on the wall was. Then I liked the next several songs.

Then I asked myself, what's going on? I don't care about art. But apparently that day I was in an unusually good mood and my appreciation for everything around me was dialed up.

Unrelated: I read that some psychopaths (emphasis on not making a blanket statement) find fear annoying in others, because they can't relate to it.

That blew my mind a little bit. How many times does someone annoy me, and the reason is just something they experience that I can't relate to?

*I don't want to make myself sound like someone who hangs out at Starbucks. I don't know why. It's okay to hang out at Starbucks. But I don't.
