Ever notice super villians and really mental people have this knack for luxury. Well maybe not luxury just the finer things. Like take Hannibal Lector from the movie how he was always about the more sophisticated things. How alot of serial killers devle into art. Is it because of their casting off of mental shackles of what's right and wrong give them the mental freedom to want to explore things that make life a bit sweeter? Now I'm not saying bludgeoning someone or eating there liver is making life sweeter by any means, but I do wonder if there is a connection to there state of mind. They always say that children and the insane always have the most creative and free minds. How many people really live life by what they really love in the five senses? The feel of fabrics, the smell of perfumes, the paintings of light, the rapture of rhythm, the taste of wine subtlies. I mean sure everyone loves nice things. But how many try to enjoy all aspects of them all the time. I'm not talking about people who are pretentious or snobby cause they are more driven by wanting to impress others not themselves. How many of you seek out the finer things and any suggestions on what you find finer?

Actually the reason hannibal was wiping doorhandles and such was so not to leave a finger print anywhere. Or in the case of the guy from "As good as it gets" that's just compulsive behavior with getting some illness from touching something foreign to him. But yes, being 15 does have quite an impact on that. I don't think I experienced enough things at that age to really have alot of things to compare it too. Like which cheese is the best with what? Who makes the best clothes and what is the best material. Etc. Etc. Ever seen the movie thomas crown affair?
