One of the things that has often convinced me of the reality of God, even in my more rebellious moments when I would not have admitted to much of a faith, is the fact that people are so unique. People's make-ups are so intricate and so different to anyone else's, and I find it harder to believe that this all happened just by chance than it is to believe that there is a loving creator God who made humanity with all its variation and uniqueness.
One of the more amusing ways that the uniqueness of each individual comes out is in regard to taste. It can be amusing to see different people react to the same thing in wildly different ways - what 1 person sees as the best thing ever is often someone elses worst nightmare. True with so many things in life. With music and films, as with anything else, I can accept that different people like different things, it's a fact of life. Having said that, 1 thing that can wind me up sometimes is when people seem to dislike (or pretend to dislike) music or films etc. just because they are 'too popular' or 'too mainstream'. Fair enough if it is a genuine dislike, but that's not always the case. Musicians and so on often do it themselves, they come to hate their most popular songs because they get played too much, and then refuse to play them live.
Sometimes we need to just accept that things are 'too popular' or 'too mainstream' because they are actually darn good! In a world where it is often easier to hide behind a mask or a created persona I believe that we need to be true to who we really are and let's admit to what we like or don't like whether its popular or not without any embarrasment or attempt to be what we're not! Let's not try to be different for the sake of it, God has made each of us uniquely and individually enough without us needing to add to it artificially!
