What's something that happened to you that changed your whole view on life?

Question

When I was 5 years old my aunt and uncle and cousins came to visit.
I had just woken up and was talking with my cousin and she told me that my dad was not my dad and I freaked out

So of course I wouldn't ask my parents they of course told me that he was my step dad.

And from that moment on I looked at everything everybody different because I wanted to know him I wanted to know who I was.
So I started watching people especially men because I would always think I wonder if that's my dad I wonder if that's my dad.. and in doing this I started learning so much about other people and myself..

And from that moment.
If I did anything wrong or got in trouble I used to be beat till I was black and blue with a belt
And always thought to myself how can somebody say they love you and they do this to you

So then on my step dad's side of the family my aunts and uncles now all kind of looked at me different because I wasn't his real son so I kind of felt like I was treated different that way

I had always been quiet and kept to myself

And with think and feel things pretty deep
Growing up things would happen that I would not understand until later in life
I finally met my dad at 27 and he was okay guy I found out not who I was but who I didn't want to be it doesn't mean that he's not a good guy I just some things he does that I just do not like
But anyway with all the above I can see and I can feel things deeper than most people
I don't really believe in horoscopes but I do believe in numerology

And then you add all that together and wanting to know who we are what is life has brought me to a deep greater understanding that is so unreal and magical it's beautiful
I have been saying it for all the years that I've been on here that we are greater than we think we are we have the capabilities of doing things that would blow you away we are energy everything on this planet is energy and if you understand what you can do with energy it would blow you away and now today finally scientists are coming out and everything that I have thought or said they are finding proof of it and from this day on it's going to start coming out more and more what we are capable of doing and I already know a lot of what we're capable of doing because I do it

I mean it's really hard to try to even explain but from All the above and about a hundred other things it is totally taking me down the path I never thought I'd go down and that I am so happy that I am going down it even though people thought I was crazy or just stupid because of things I believe in but I only can believe in things that I can make happen and kind of being validated by new findings from scientists is kind of cool
So I would say with everything that I've been through everything that I have thought about I've been pretty blessed because I've gotten answers and proof of the answers so it's I think it's a combination of everything that has happened to me that I respect and would not change

So to answer your question unless words LOL it would be become one with yourself with no argument no negative whatsoever become one with others with no argument no negative and become one with this universe with no argument no negative become one with energy
If you can do this
And do something that most people thought was impossible that is do the above with your heart and your mind as one with complete honesty and Truth it will change your life like you will never ever believe

My manager at one of my 1st jobs as a teen said to another adult, "I wouldn't want a kid like him!" looking over at me. The next day his wife had a miscarriage.

I learned karma exists. It is a tough lesson because in general I've been good with not raining on other peoples' parades, getting aggressive or even assertive on other people at work, in relationships, etc. But I've laid back too much sometimes because I figure I'll let karma handle this person or thing. Though I will sometimes hold a lot in so it's something I'm working on, expressing my feelings when someone is doing something what I see as wrong or odd.

I also have to always tell myself that I'm also bound to get karma for good or bad and cut down on the littlest bad even just negative thoughts, what I say and do, etc. The littlest habits matter from telling people you love them to treating people nicely, or bad things like focusing on the negatives on life which there are a lot but why focus on them though obiously it can be very hard sometimes. So it's a life lesson I learned in 1 moment. Be careful what you say and what you do, karma comes or you good and bad and no one is exempt from it.

Chronic illness started at 17, i became bedridden, had the hospital be my second home as I was hospitalised every week, struggled with extreme weight loss and organs shutting down. Had a couple close calls with death during all of that. It definitely gave me a more thankful outlook on life. Thankful that my body is functioning today, thankful for my loved ones who’ve helped me, thankful for the doctors & nurses who’ve cared for me, thankful that my health has majorly improved in the last 2 years to the point where I’m able to work & participate in hobbies and activities, working in itself is a privilege that I’m thankful to have after all that my body has been through. And I’m thankful to no longer have the hospital as my second home. My visits have gone from weekly to maybe once or twice a year.

First time somebody tried to kill me it spurred a good deal of reflection. Eventually it just got obnoxious. Getting shot was a surprise. could've gone a lot worse. Was thankful for that. The first couple seconds after my truck hit the IED will always be memorable. First time I coordinated some pieces getting taken of the board was rewarding. First time I did it myself, more so. When I had a heart attack. Big one there. When they told me I may not see my rescue kitten again (at the time there was only one) that was pretty major. When I was deployed and my mom got in a bad car wreck and I didn't know if she was alive for the next 24 hours. That's when I realized it was time to come home.

Growing up as a Pentecostal Christian for over a decade, my life took a significant turn when I reached 13. It was during this time that I started questioning my religious beliefs and, ultimately, chose to distance myself from organized religion. This decision set me on a journey of exploring deeper truths supported by evidence and delving into various philosophical viewpoints. Thank you YouTube. 🙏 I sought to establish a more solid foundation for my beliefs, free from the constraints of religious preferences, allowing me to embrace a more diverse and open-minded perspective.

Josephiiina · Answer

Jesus came to me in a dream, it was quite a scary dream. I did not understand it so I didn't care about it and continued my chaotic life as usual.

One year after that i was chilling at home when I heard Gods voice. I fell to the ground almost paralyzed, shortly after I started weeping. When I stood up from the floor I was completely different. Such a strange feeling.

I went into bible study and turned my life around. Now I live a calm, modest life and I do my best to help people.

Jonnyanalog · Answer

First life changing event: I was in a bad car accident as a young adult. According to the police and fire on scene, I should be dead. I walked away essentially uninjured. God spared my life.
second life changing event: becoming a dad. Raising kids is one of the most rewarding things you can do. I love my kiddos and am an extremely proud dad. Seeing them blossom into young adults is one of the best experiences in life.
third: accepting Jesus as my Lord and Savior. The first event was a catalyst (among others) for this one.

NathanDavis · Answer

loss... unfortunately, and at an earlier age too

it completely changed, and also define my life and greatly shaped the kind of person that I am today

and while loss is always about just the worse thing, it also made me, eventually, realize that there were still so much to actually live life for, myself...

The passing of my wife changed my view on how quickly your life can change. I was both happy I had my daughter with me, but, sad for her not to have her mom the past decade. I've done the best I can being an only parent.

Having a daughter definitely changes your whole view on women, it makes you realize every women is someone's daughter. My parents taught me to respect women, but having a daughter reinforced it even more. I just hope she meets someone someday that treats her well.

Life is hard and real life is hard. all people are evil and suck. Life is real. I always get what I want just in the worst possible way. All the bad thing about a girl I used to know are true and sad. I think I can predict the future. always wanted to protect my wife if I had one and she was pregnant so she not get ran over. The girl I know did get ran over when she was pregnant and her kid is not mine. She doing ok now. I thought that I was dreaming. I thought that she have an abusive ex boyfriend and she dose and it sad. thought that I Hurt my self and I did.

Like what every I think about is become real. sometime I don't know why I do stop But I keep making thing bad cause I always want push thing in life. I feel I dark and need be hit or put away. I don't know why I am still here and think keep get worst in the last few years.

Killing a rat that had shit and pissed on my pillow. I gloried in the killing of the rat (I was 19) for about two seconds.

then a wave of guilt hit me hard. There’s no time that I should ever revel in one’s death, even if they deserved it. I still believe in the death penalty but there’s no situation acceptable to revel in another’s death.

Well, I thought the army was great but it's not so great as I once thought. They have been profiteering off the common man for too long. All changed when I saw how ruthlessly people were treated by the military in my own country outside the cities :/.

To this day there is no one who can do anything to help this situation. The troika of Judiciary, military and the political parties all are in league in loot and plunder of this country

Heolurt · Answer

The moment I realized people have been treating me like shit and like I was retarded (which I found out I am) my entire life, my family all abandoned me the moment I moved out, 20 years no contact and all those I thought were friends weren't actually friends and never were, they just took pity on me because of my face and mental disability, then there's the random people who everyday who feel the need to say something rude as they pass me. All of this made me realize life sucks and decent people don't exist.
