19 shower thoughts that’ll change your perception of life

Our concept of the world can be flipped simply by reading a sentence, or we can discover a new meaning or depth we were unaware of before. Nothing is better than thoughts that come to us when we’re free to let our minds roam, like when we’re about to fall asleep, taking a long stroll, or taking a hot shower. The following thoughts about life (via r/Showerthoughts) – ranging from world history, to things we do every day, to deep observations –  are some of the most paradigm-shifting.
