A couple of months while I was still in Iran, I said that I felt like a stranger when I walked among the people and that I was a changed person in the eyes of others. Now I know why; it’s because once you know how life is with freedom, your mind starts expanding and begins to think of everything. You begin to question yourself and your beliefs and you start to develop a new view on life. That’s what happened to me after living in America for four years. I think the same thing happens to others. If they live in a freedom-less country, they are not allowed to express themselves and they are afraid to think of things contrary to their society or government. But once they are in a place where they can express their mind, then they begin viewing differently and that is why to others they are a changed person. They are their own self but their inner self has changed.
Inner self
Correct. Living in a different place among different types of people, changes you dramatically. Being raised where you can’t be who you wanna be, I agree with you. I have experienced this change deeply and I think because of these huge changes, I have lost the contact with my inner self. And let me tell you :it sucks when you dont know who you are!!!!
According to your note, that’s how I feel.
Thank you for sharing this logically idea.
