What’s a piece of media (book, movie, song) that changed how you see the world?

Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
Any sort of media that you consume maybe it’s a short video or a long read based on text,
Every piece of media leaves an impact on you and in a subtle way changes the way you think or detours your mindset from the regular one…!
For me it’s like that;
Even if I watch a reel that is very niche and tries to bring out something that is very specific,
For example a reel that brings to the world the songs that Arjan Dhillon produces through pictures and lyrics written in Panjabi it makes me instantly connect and think of a perspective from the person in the picture…!
The same happened when I read a philosophical book like I bought metamorphosis a few days back and I want to read it in one go;
I’ve seen people change and be a different person after reading it and I hope I will also get a fresh perspective on life and a new vision from which I can view this life…!
When I watch a movie,
Which is a rare occurrence in my life but, whenever I do, it is mostly sci-fi based or something that goes along the same line which explores the unexplored…!
And when I’m watching it,
It becomes a surreal experience as it takes me into a different world and helps me understand that there is always more to this life than it seems…!
Coming back to the main topic—
I feel like every thing you see even in real life the outside world,
It shapes you in a way that no book or no piece of text cannot,
When you notice hardships and difficulties in life and see people overcoming them and becoming a better person or even a better version of themselves,
It stirs you up and pushes you to be a better person just like them..!
Doesn’t it…?
I know there are side affects too;
There are other types of media which shape a perception of people towards a specific gender and it harms when people assume and act things they saw online with people in real life which leads to problems which are hard to handle when we see them though our eyes…!
Do you think the media that you consume affects you in ways that it makes you short tempered or angry;
Or,
It helps you to be a creative person…?
The comment box is open as usual…!
Cheers 🥂
Love Waakiye 🤍
