Why do you think we do not respond to all stimuli present in our environment?

This is not an opinion question; it is a question of brain physiology. We do not respond to every impulse because if we did, our brains would be overwhelmed with sorting and responding to everything, and this includes internal stimuli. Our hearts beat, we breathe, our digestive systems function automatically from the brain stem so we don't have to think about it. The same is true for external stimuli; many register on the brain only briefly, some not at all, because the brain cannot possibly take in and filter hundreds of thousands of stimuli per minute. Our brains filter the stimuli in subconscious areas and only those which are deemed worth our attention make it to the conscious areas of the cerebral cortex.
