What surprises you the most about life?

Question

Tarifa · Accepted Answer

The world just keeps on turning, no matter what we do. All we achieve is on a small, personal level. But those are the things that matter most to us: the way we communicate with others, the way we carve out a little space for ourselves, the way we care about those who are worth of our affection.

And there will be millions after us, doing the same things while the world keeps on turning. Even if it stopped turning, there's little we can do.

sawno · Answer

The things that aren't common knowledge or are but seem so implausible. Good example, I would have never imagined that telepathy is real or that I'd be able to do it in some forms. But once I discovered it I understood I had been doing it troughout my life and the only reason I didn't know was because I thought it had to be verbal and that feeling someones feelings was just me being empathic and imagining what they were feeling.

What ultimately made me discover it is when my body began feeling things in a reproducable way when I met someone who was also capable of it. And stuff like me feeling someones headache to the exact location or literally feeling their emotional pain to the point where I could describe it in their own words without them telling me.

Stuff like that being real then places reality itself in a new light and calls a lot of things into question.

Some really stupid people manage to survive well into adulthood. I really wonder if we're disrupting the natural selection process with our modern technology. Is this how we managed to spawn MAGA? I gotta wonder if there were fewer 45 year old dumbasses in 1900, 1800, 1700.

How the way you think of things one day, will not be the same way you think of them a year from now.

Example what I thought were the most difficult timrs of my life... Those moments I hated to be in. Now I look back on and im gratefully for. Those bad times also made me the amazing person I am.

The way our ideas, and perspectives change surprises me the most.

HawkPerception · Answer

I think what never fails to surprise me is human greed and stupidity. I have the negative perspective that most humans are selfish and will walk on others to make themselves more comfortable in life and most are sheep that can't think for themselves. They hear one narrative and it fuels them for many years to come. Most humans don't do their own research. They just listen to the machine.

It takes you your entire life to get anywhere financially (if you're lucky). And then by the time you get there you're too old and or sick to enjoy it.

We're just a species that lives our lives moving things forward so that we can birth the next generation and they'll do the same thing. I know you're going to say how is that any different than nature. Well nature does not understand it's place in the universe. Nature is just a beast.
