I'm one of those people that is happy when stuff works like they are supposed to. I'm not really asking why or how it works, as long as it works its all good to me. It would take too much time and energy to try and figure out how and why things work the way they do.
For example, if I turn the key in my car, it starts. I dont need to know why it starts, for all I care it can be magic.
I have no idea how my cellphone works, I think it has something to do with radiovawes. But again, it might as well be magic.
I have no idea why the electricity in the wall sockets dont shoot out sparks and kill me if i get too close. I'm glad it doesnt kill me, but I have no idea why.
My point is, I dont need to know these things. As long as everything just works as they're supposed to. I'm happy. Its only when stuff stops working as intended that I really notice it. Like when the car dont start in the morning when you're on the way to work. But even then I'm not too intrested in knowing why, I'm just mad because it dont work as it should. If I were able to "fix" it by screaming and yelling at it for 10 minutes, I would. I wouldnt really care why the screaming and yelling fixed it though.
There is other people, people who dont think like me aparently. Yeah I know, odd huh? Some people out there cant stand not knowing how stuff works and why. And just telling them its "magic" wont get you very far. They need to know down to the last molecule, how and why. I'm not saying these people are wrong in any way, because they are not. These people are probably the ones that are the successfull ones in life. You dont become a rocket scientists without wanting to know how stuff works and why.
I'm a very accepting person. If someone were to give me a button, and tell me by pressing this button I could have whatever I want. I wouldnt think twice about how it works. I would probably not want to know how it works anyway. What if whenever I use my button cute and fuzzy baby bunnies die in masses, just so I can have what I want. Would I wanna know that? Not really. Would it make a difference? Nope. Even if someone told me that everytime I push my button to fullfill my needs, thousands of fuzzy baby bunnies dies. I'd still press that button without hesitating.
Maybe I would think, poor those bunnies, but I would really like a new car. Or even maybe just a cup of coffee. What? I like coffee. 1000 dead baby bunnies is a small price to pay to not have to go make my coffee myself.
