There is something that puzzle me. I have noticed it in the last few years in a more acute way: experience change perception. I had mainly experienced it with fiction. Among the strongest example was from Star Trek: The Next Generation with the episode Dark Page (Here for the trailor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEZMe8WPJFs). I saw this episode for the first time when I was a teenager. I saw it again 2-3 years ago. My perspective had totally changed. In the episode, Deanna Troi discover that she had an older sister. That older sister died while Deanna was very young. When I saw it as a teenager, I thought: «How sad» and when I saw it again, I not just thought, it was a little bit emotional. I knew what it was to have a child and I could not think loosing a child.
I did have other similar experience elsewhere, with a strip cartoon book (https://www.amazon.ca/Edge-Life-Roger-Leloup/dp/1905460325/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1463192718&sr=8-16&keywords=yoko+tsuno) or with a cartoon show (https://www.amazon.ca/Goldorak-LIntegrale-15Dvd-Version-fran%C3%A7aise/dp/B009Z0LUIC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463192760&sr=8-1&keywords=goldorak). With the last example, it is an example where knowledge gained with maturity change everything. For the example with the strip cartoon book, there some questions that arise with the constant advancement in science.
Will this kind of experience repeat it self as I stumble on new series, books, etc...? Only time will tell.
