What Realizations Flabbergast You?

Flabbergast- to surprise greatly, astonish, shock, etc.
I just think its a fun word to say.
I sometimes bug out at the idea that everyone is living their lives right now at this very moment. You are at your own place on the same Earth reading this post on your own device and living your own life.
AND FOR SOME REASON I FIND THAT SO CRAZY AND AMAZING
Sometimes I just freak out looking at people at the grocery store and think "they are going home to a house I've probably never seen, with furniture I've never helped move in, and possibly even pets that I've never seen"
Its been 20 years and I still cant wrap my head around the fact that we are all different, unique, individuals. All 7.66 Billion of us, living together but in separate lives.
WoW.What kinds of thoughts flabbergast you?
-
That Trump may get reelected
😱 -

Have you ever seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Harrison Ford was one of the first choices to play Eddie Valiant. Sting was one of the first choices to play Judge Doom.

@Sup "that big word" 😂
Yes! Spread the word! -
@petrapark3r Howd you know?😏
This is actually a thought I've had since I was a youngster. My head would hurt at the age of 6 thinking about how weird it was that my friends went home to a different family that they ate dinner with and lived with and I've never met any of them or experienced any of it.
Whats always bothered me is that I couldn't and can never fully understand someones life. No matter how close we get to being in similar situations or things, we can never fully put ourselves in someones shoes and really understand and know what it is like to be where theyre at. -

No matter how close we get to being in similar situations or things, we can never fully put ourselves in someones shoes and really understand and know what it is like to be where theyre at.To be honest, I know that kind of feeling. Especially when I sometimes visited a friend or classmate at home, and realized how things go on between them, that I don't properly understand and how their life, their home, the way they feel is so very different from mine. Also around that age I s'pose...
I always thought I don't understand people really, while it seemed to me that others understood each other much better than I did. But maybe what actually happened is that I noticed these things, these subtle differences, while others didn't and thus felt as if everything was just like at home (or at least enough is...)?

Here's what Flabbergasted me recently:
You wanna buy a videogame from a store that costs 50€.
You ask 25€ to each of your parents. You get to the store and the game is in discount and costs 47€, so you retain 3€!
When you get home you give 1€ to each parent so: 24 + 24 = 48 + euro you kept = 49€.Where's the missing €??!

For some reason knowing that we will all die gives me comfort. When I think about immortality and living forever... just waking up everyday for forever and living like forever, I cant even fathom it, but it sounds like hell.

Agreed. I'm so glad I don't have to live on this earth forever!
