Congrats on finding a member of your tribe! Rare that it happens for most people in life, including myself but it’s a great feeling when it happens.
Recently I had an epiphany about one of my younger cousin’s who recently came out of the hospital and is in recovery and awaiting an organ donation, and how close we were with each other growing up. I was reflecting on it today in fact when I was having breakfast this morning at McDonald’s by myself. He and I couldn’t be more different people. Politics-wise, interests (few things in common), attitudes; and I had the realization that if people like me got everything they wanted out of how I think the world should behave, people like him wouldn’t exist and the world would be all the worse of a place because of it. I think similar moments can happen to other people on occasion, but I can recall far too many examples of people in middle age who have had life-changing things happen to them, experienced profound loss and still haven’t learned a single thing about what’s actually important in life; and will continually vilify you for your own decency.
For all the enemies people think they have, it’s they themselves that tend to be their own worst enemies. Most people never succeed in getting over themselves and their own ego and expand their perception of the world beyond most of the bullshit they concern themselves with.
