I m extremely accurate in detecting smells , while certain smells will causes extreme pain . It was only in adulthood that I was confronted to explaining why smelling cooked onions cause so much pain in me.
as a result I realized that I actually smell geographically within a about 1 meter cylindrical field around my head . where as onions are in an area inside my head that hurts though it is the same for, calendrical time and numbers.
We often just question our perception of the world when it is immediately compared to other perceptions, or results in discomfort.
I wonder how diverse human perception of the world can actually be without us knowing. If humanity was blind but one person perceived Eyesight but had never learned to communicate his ability to "foresee things", run without hitting objects , this human wouldn't be able to reflect about it because it wasn't integrated in his way of communication.
Maybe for this human seeing a beautiful sunset would remain a dumb feeling, rather than a realization of what it actually is that made them feel that way, since his communication and reflection of the world was not focused on this sense.
