There are some things that once you see, you just can’t un-see. 

Your view of the world changes.

However, you can’t just *see* these things. 

You have to be personally exposed to them through more than just seeing before you can *really* see them. 

And it’s important to acknowledge that while you may now really see them, you almost certainly still don’t fully understand them. 

You’re probably just at the start – whether you see these things in the world, in others, or in yourself.

Here are a few of mine: 

- Privilege
- Entitlement
- Our capacity for growth
- Flailing inside idea maze
- Where I go when I’m unhealthy ([envy and contempt](https://www.howardgray.net/2019/07/24/fear-envy-contempt/))
- The challenge that is the mid 30s bulge

What have you seen, and can now never un-see?
