I believe I have two that would qualify for this situation.
The first being wjen I realised I can't care about tragic situations in the news no matter how disgusting or tragic i really feel unnafected. I am just so incredibly desensitized unless I have made an emotional commtiment to something involved in the story. The last thing I remember affecting me was when a mother sold her twelve year old daughter for sex to a forty year old man and watched it happen. It reviled me but stories involving death and chaos I do not care about. I realise the tragedy and disgust that occurs with it.
My second is a near death experience. It's just so shocking to realise you actually are mortal. It is a real eye opener to realise that if you had dided there would be so many things unexperienced. It would be all wasted by one single twist of fate. It was a boat crash by the way. Near head on collision. I had a retainer at the time and it pierced through my lower lip resulting in a very annoying qwirk to my smile.
