    We are not our likes and dislikes, as we change over time, so do our
    likes and dislikes. I am sorry you missed the point...it was not
    about diversity, it was about creativity, and the ability to
    recognize that which we share rather than that which separates us
    and alienates. 

    It seems it is so much a part of the fabric of the society we are
    apart of, as in the ability of the youth of our culture to know
    specifically what is wrong with them rather what right. We are from
    a culture of judgment and criticism. 

    My "opinion" from my observation is that our youth have quite
    sophisticated knowledge and opinions, but sometimes it makes me
    laugh as they do not have experience or life skills. They just
    regurgitate info that comes from advertising or what they heard
    someone say. The more expensive it is, the better it is in their
    eyes. They want a Ferrari, not a Mercedes or BMW, although they have
    not driven any of them. 

    When we see an image we react to, is it the content in the image, or
    in our perception, or possibly where we are in our life experience,
    as our ability to relate can change as our life experience changes
    us. There are things I did not relate to or understand when I was
    younger, that these things when I experience now have a different
    meaning or context. 

    Each ring represents something about each person that created each
    ring. What is the relationship between what our opinion of the piece
    is to the experience of the person who made it? The person who made
    it is reduced to our opinion as limited as we are in our perception.

IMHO
