Re: WHAT A SMELLY WORLD!

I agree about the smells in this world, oh yes!
A horrible thing happened today... when I went to enjoy the
pleasing aroma of my usual cup of jasmine green tea, I COULD
NOT DETECT THE DELICATE SCENT like I use to!?
Dammit...it's because I'm forced to work five days a week
around synthetically scented morons and this has burned out
my sense of smell I value so much! I'M FURIOUS! Take away a
person's sense of vision or hearing and it's a serious
assault, but what about the NOSE guys? Is it okay to destroy
a person's sense of smell?
When we compare the strong, harsh scents that are floating
around our daily environment, to the light delicate scents
found in nature, you know the strong stuff is going to
overpower all! This isn't fair to anyone who enjoys and wans
to be able to smell delicate natural scents.
The synthetic garbage alters our sense of smell, and
eventually deadens it, so that explains why nobody seems to
be complaining about the stuff because they probably don't
smell it anymore.
How sad that people settle for losing their sense of smell
rather than just get all this toxic trash out of the
environment and learn to live without it, which WE CAN do!!!
