Engrossed in the relentless pursuit of fulfilling our obligations, we often overlook the intricate beauty that surrounds us.
A user asked the forum, “What is far more rare than people realize?”. Here are some interesting things that are rare.
TETANUS
“Tetanus – We get vaccines for it, but it’s actually a bit harder to get than you may believe.”
SOLID BROWN FUR CATS
“Solid brown fur cats, apparently it’s some kind of recessive gene in them.”
KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH FRIENDS AFTER SCHOOL
“People who remain friends with you once you leave school.”
BLIMPS
“Blimps. I live in northeast Ohio near the Goodyear hangar. We see them all the time. I had to pull up a list that Northeast Ohio has 3 out of 4 operating Goodyear blimps named Wingfoot 1, 2, and 3; only maybe 12 are operating anywhere in the world, with a total of 25 existing at all. But we see them all the time at Wingfoot Lake disc golf course.
Edit: Helium-filled semi-rigid airships.”
NORTHERN LIGHTS
“Northern lights. The number of people I’ve heard say:
“We’ve come all this way; what time do they come on?” It’s staggering.”
UNDERWEIGHT PEOPLE WITH EATING DISORDER
“The percentage of people with eating disorders that are underweight (5% of suffers).”
HUMILITY
“Humility and an understanding that we’re sometimes the victim and sometimes the perpetrator. No one is ever just one or the other.”
BEING A MULTIMILLIONAIRE
“Being a multi-millionaire. Lots of people are faking it out here.”
CLEAN WATER
“Clean water
My son and I have been discussing this lately. He is a chemical engineer and works exclusively with water. Many of the studies he has been published on also have to do with clean water and forever chemicals. Water is a huge issue that is becoming bigger every day, and normal people are forgetting about it.
Flint, Michigan, is in year 9!”
HONEST FRIENDS
“Good, honest friends who don’t have ulterior motives. The ones that genuinely enjoy your company and friendship. Hold onto them!!!”
HAPPY RELATIONSHIPS
“People in genuinely happy, healthy, well-adjusted relationships”
GOOD UPBRINGING
“A good upbringing.
If you look at the stories of very successful individuals, most of them come from the simple fact that they had good parental figures & role models.
Imagine actually being prepared for adulthood.”
EMPATHY
“Empathy. When people want to and are able to understand the experience of another human being, without projection of their own ideas and experiences onto others.”
MAN-TO-MAN COMPLIMENTS
“Man to man compliments
I remember about my 7th grade year. It was probably 1994. Me and my friends started telling each other we love you, man. Being good friends with another dude and telling them you love them. That is more rare than anything. We got obnoxious. We just kept telling each other, bro, I love you. No, bro, I love you more. No, bro, you’re a better man than me. It was so silly, but still, today, I think about it and smile.
I still miss and love my boys. I try to compliment men and tell them they are killing it as much as I can. Any compliment is amazing. I usually do something dumb like that. Damn, bro, you’re killing it.”
