The Difficult Union
Why are taste and genius so seldom met with united?
Taste of strength is afraid,--genius despises the rein.

Heart is like chocolate
Heart is like chocolate
Ranged from extremely dark to purely white
It could taste sweet, it could taste bitter
Melted when hot, hard when cold
It has many varieties and shapes
It could be fake, it could be made from finest quality
From common knowledge to secret recipe
From genius innovation to weird ingredient
Whenever you are sad, whenever you are happy
It makes you craving, it makes you addicted

Man sees, hears, touches, tastes and smells that which it is necessary for him to see, hear, touch, taste and smell in order to preserve his life. The decay or loss of any of these senses increases the risks with which his life is environed, and if it increases them less in the state of society in which we are actually living, the reason is that some see, hear, touch, taste and smell for others. A blind man, by himself and without a guide, could not live long. Society is an additional sense; it is the true common sense.

We are finite creatures. Our lives are small and can only scientifically consider a small part of reality. What's common for us is just a sliver of what's available. We can only see so much of the electromagnetic spectrum. We can only delve so deep into extensions of space. Common sense applies to that which we can access. But common sense is just that. Common. If total sense is what we want, we should be prepared to accept that we shouldn't call infinity weird or strange. The results we've arrived at by accepting it are valid, true within the system we use to understand, measure, predict and order the universe. Perhaps the system still needs perfecting, but at the end of day, history continues to show us that the universe isn't strange. We are.
