It is not unusual to wonder why things that are important for some seem to be totally uninteresting for others. Sport fans find it difficult, almost impossible, to understand how some people might consider boring a baseball game and a classical music admirer can't empathize with those who are crazy over heavy metal "noise". Similarly, a person who has a certain ethical or moral standard cannot easily accept the extreme freedom of customs that is displayed nowadays. And more... One wants to learn about the cosmos, is interested in the possible existence of alien life, is amazed by the wonder of quantum physics while the other only craves to read, watch and talk about movie stars failed marriages or fashion bloopers. The fact is that we are different. Although we are all human beings, we actually move on different planes which, at times, seem hopelessly separated. Truth is that we learn only what we are able to receive, at a given moment. As a first grade student can understand the basics of addition and subtraction but not calculus, so do some of us have a natural desire to learn more on a subject and do not care for a different one. We are not saying that one is "better" than the other. They seem to be in contrast because people move at a different intellectual and spiritual pace.
