Smell

What is that smell? 

Where is that smell coming from? 

We are all born with the senses that make us. We use our eyes to see, nose to smell, ears to hear, tongue to taste, and skin to touch. These are the five senses that we learn in school that makes us who we are. There is another sense that is less prominent but most important, the sixth sense. It is said that when we were born, we are complete with all six senses but as time goes by, our filters become stronger and hence, the sixth sense just goes hidden without a trace. 

Is that true? 

Perhaps for most of us, but not all of us. 

Though we each have all the senses we need to survive, we each also have one or two senses which is stronger. And of course, there are some people with one or two impaired senses,, then their remaining senses would be amplified as a natural way of compensation. 

It is rather easy to determine which senses are our stronger ones. 

If something wakes us from our sleep, that could be danger. 

If something changes our emotion, that could be health related. 

If something makes us salivate, the could be delicious. 

When something smells delicious, we already preconditioned our taste buds. The enhanced taste buds will be able to taste each and every component of whatever that comes into contact with them. That makes the entire eating experience up a notch. That is gourmet. 

Some senses are indeed closely connected with other senses. All we need to do is to connect with each and everyone of our senses every single day. Life can be better with all our senses.
