Lost in Translation

Sometimes I don't realize what is lost in translation. When different ingredients are thrown into one melting pot you can lose the different distinct flavors each one has to offer. Missing the little twang of each ingredient could be one bite of your meal or it could mean missing something that could change your life. When you don't take time to listen or take just a little bit of interest in a subject or a person's different culture you can miss a flavor that could change your life.

On the other hand, shouldn't other ingredients take interest into the flavors that are already in the pot? Some ingredients dive right in and could overpower the dish while others or most don't care at all. When new things come into the pot on the stove that's on medium heat, why should they get to come in get to move the temperature up to high?

I think there should be a happy medium. Both of the ingredients should give up a little bit of something if it can compliment the other a little better and not take over the other's life. A dash of this or sprinkle of that could make a dish something that you will never forget.
