IDEAS
What was the original opinion and what opinion do you have now?
I was an opponent of regular medical checkups. I rolled my eyes at all those people who said they had regular health screenings. I said it was a waste of time and money. I told my friends to stop acting like old people. I thought that one should only go to a doctor if they are sick. -- now I'm convinced that regular health check-ups are essential because they help identify potential problems at an early stage. They can help people to keep track of their health and prevent a lot of health problems
I was an opponent of gun control. I used to think that each person has the right to carry a gun for personal protection - I read about numerous mass shootings, mostly in the USA, during which dozens of innocent people were killed and hundreds of people were injured - now I'm a strong supporter of gun control
I used to think that people mustn't get divorced if they have children even if these people are deeply unhappy in their marriage - now I think that kids will suffer more if people stay miserable in their marriage
