Damn that was really said
I like that perspective a lot—the Birds Eye view definitely brings a lot of wonder
Thanks for sharing this!

Well it may be gone and few things will cause such a reaction again. Personally it's rare so I replaced the feeling instead with one that is easy to recreate. When looking at a cloud as a kid I'd look at them in woder, now I look at things and feel a joy in the beauty of it.

Do you usually get this emotional on Reddit?

Oh, shit. Nice last minute edit. I, normally, like speaking with people on this site. My only issue is when they stupid shit. Haha.

The difference between childhood and adulthood is familiarity with the world. Another way of saying this is that things get boring, old, and you become jaded and cynical. You're supposed to be exposed to "the sublime" once a day to combat this. Look at the universe overhead every night and wonder what the hell this is really all about. No one can tell you and you will never know, only wonder.

Do you try to gaslight other people like this?

I’ve noticed the same thing with who you surround yourself vastly changing how you look at the world
That’s a good reminder to foster that type of social circle
Thanks for this 🙌

You’re choosing to take it like that. I simply said it takes practice. Idk why you’re getting so upset. If you don’t like people responding to your comments then don’t leave comments in public forums.

I'm more annoyed that you'd suggest people don't know something that simple. It's condescending. It's kind of universally known that literally fucking everything takes practice.

Did I say you did? Why are you getting offended? I simply said it takes practice

Like I told the other genius who said the same thing: did I say you shouldn't try?

Oh, thank you. My life is changed. Did I say you shouldn't try...?
Also, thank you that condescending defeatist comment at the end. A real good way to convince people of your opinion.
