So, just the first 20 things that came to mind, in each category of the 5 senses.
These do not scratch the surface, of course.

However, it certainly is amusing for me to read them over & realize how peculiar I am. I am hard to understand, or so I have been told…maybe, maybe not.

Perhaps understanding yourself is the key to understanding others. I seem to understand others very well. That’s mostly a good thing, I think. Being realistic about oneself is a freeing attribute. People who have refined themselves until they accept who they are…these are extremely rare. People who seek to refine others, until they themselves can understand them…these are everywhere. Change, if it is artificial, is not a good thing. Be yourself. You are the only one who can ever accomplish that. Once you know & appreciate who you are, you can give of yourself, to those whom you choose…freely & without fear.

I just might be inspired to list 100 things I do not like! Later, though.
