I always loved browsing such posts on reddit, so thought I should make one on lemmy too
Edit: Usually these kind of posts only used to have excerpts from books or ancient proverbs, but now I am seeing a lot more quotes from shows/movies/games are also resonating with people. It’s pretty cool to see.
Circumstances do matter, though.
For example, you’re not very likely to become a Christian being raised Muslim in Iran. As much as we’d like to believe we can shape ourselves, we’re only a part of the equation.
