People shared the deepest insights they've ever heard, and they may forever change how you think

Whether we learn them in childhood or from our surroundings as we age, most of us carry a certain set of beliefs with us as we traverse through life.

But every now and then someone will come along and say something, whether they mean to or not, that completely changes the way we think about something - and it's a pretty awesome experience.

In an Ask Reddit thread, Redditor AWWshets asked other Redditors, "What is something someone said that forever changed your way of thinking?"

Some of these responses may have a profound effect on how you think, too.
