Noise

First of all, I WAS RIGHT. Running away is just a leftover habit, but somehow it definitely triggers the problem. I feel fine if I keep myself from bolting.

Also, I had a thought the other day.

(Yeah!)

Our tongues have sections designed for sweetness, sourness and so on. If we had just one section each and we only could know the flavor of something all at once, then the depth of tastes -- as we experience them individually and roughly simultaneously -- would be impossible. The levels of a flavor are like the instruments in a song: if you couldn't tell one instrument from another, I think you'd just hear noise.
