If you're not interested in something though, why would it bother you?
I'm totally disinterested in football, but I've no desperate need to want to like it and I don't think any less of people who enjoy it either. It's just life: people are into different things.
You're aware that you're different to other people, right?
Some people get off drunking Buckfast. Some people get their kicks cutting the eyes out of photos of young girls and posting on white supremacist forums.
I have different things that make -me- happy.
Or do you -not- have things that make you happy and live in a cold world where you wonder what our human emotions are like?
But, for instance, take Opera. Opera does fuck all for me. But clearly it has positive things about it, because it makes some people very happy indeed. It'd be nice if I could appreciate it more.
You can get through life appreciating many things that will leave you a lot less cold than opera no matter how much time you spend trying to "get" opera.
And you can do this whilst fully engaging with those things as hard as you like for twice as long as you'll ever live without getting bored.
