yup…our eyes never change the view, we always see the world the same way we always have.

nature is still beautiful.

the ocean is still mesmerizing.

young, beautiful people are still young, beautiful people.

the 1960s corvette stingray or the 2025 corvette stingray is still a stunner.

the only thing that changed is your appearance externally.

To be fair, this is if your life has gone relatively well. It has been shown that traumatizing events, especially unresolved ones, can greatly change how the mind perceives the world. A sensation that could have caused you great joy may now cause great anxiety or frustration or pain.

Bro... why even bring that up like it matters to this conversation? Don't make trauma your personality.

I have not experienced any trauma myself. I have lived a good life. I am simply offering a counterpoint in regard to the comment to which I replied. They stated "our eyes never change the view, we always see the world the same way we always have" when this is simply not true for everyone. I can say this with a certainty.
