What changed the way you see the world?

The descent into madness in 2020. The idea of wicked people doing terrible, unethical things in the pursuit of power is hardly surprising; that's what history is all about. But seeing the common people- their victims- looking on and cheering for more? Seeing people who I know, and who I'm perfectly aware know better, turn on me? Fleeing halfway across the country and finding I've left a post-apocalyptic zone and come to a place where people don't realize anything out of the ordinary is going on?

That will change your perception of the world like nothing else.

more than anything... the possibility of speaking two languages, English and Spanish, and also growing up that way, in between "two worlds" and two very different ways of being

the contrasts, the similarities, the differences... to realize since very early how many things in this life are mere perception rather than just an "absolute" reality

it made me see this world, and life too... from a less limited point of view, and more than anything, it's been a good and great thing

@laly520 all these wars going around made me change and understand that there is no one justice for all.

my siblings... and then... my kids...

From the beginning then:Literature, emancipation
Video games, imagination
Middle School, bullies
Puberty, sexual drive
High School, belonging
Music, imagination
First relation, tenderness
Fatherhood, responsibilities
Rape, horror
Soft science, emancipation
Divorce, emancipation
Drawing, creation

That question did make me travel a lot through time wow. I loved, for the most part, that unexpected trip inside my memory :)
Thank you laly !

Slowly unraveling certain likely objective truths about our reality.

Here are some:

• The only constant is change.
• There is no such thing as "right," "wrong," "good," or "bad."
• There is no such thing as "freedom."
• World peace is impossible to achieve.
• Total equality is a paradox that will never fulfill itself.
• We live in an indifferent universe.
• Humans will always try to find meanings in their lives.
• There is only so far that we can go.
• There are no absolutes, there is only the relative.
• There is no such thing as a truth.

My experiences at my employer, information I found online that doesn't meet the mainstream narrative, spiritual experiences and my last lover are the notable ones. Also notably missing is school, you'd expect that to have changed my world view but it hasn't.

Leaving the bubble I grew up in and going to college and then grad school. It wasn't the classes or professors that changed it as much as just being exposed to new people of different backgrounds.

Covid, how wild we got over toilet paper. And drama, content creators having to apologize because people get butthurt over literally anything. They now have to clarify that they're joking after making a joke, it ruins it all.

2016 elections. Fahrenheit 451. Reading about things like Operation Mockingbird, Operation Northwoods, Abu Gharib.

I don't recall. It was always developing from making discoveries. Can't say it's a changing change like from A to B.

Watching the way people behaved during the pandemic with their virtue-signalling and self-righteousness. Children behaved with more maturity than adults.

Getting out of my parents home and home city. Seeing the world and experiencing life teaches a lot

When I realized how evil, ignorant and gullible some people can be.

So many people are extremely toxic and very naive. They believe in gossip, rumors and deliberate defamation.

[Agape93]
