Alias has definitely changed my view of the world, but in a different way than the rest of you guys.
The deeper we get into the show and all its issues and relationships, the more I question my own philosophies on life. Especially because of Jack (my ultimate favorite character). The complexity of his emotions and decisions have made me much more sympathetic to his questionable actions. I have learned that a person cannot be wholely separated from their intentions. Alias challenges (and I believe may have conquered) my naive black-and-white philosophy on morality. If we learn just one thing from the Alias world, it should be that there are no easy feelings or choices or judgments. The world is a gray world. ...
i love the way you put that! and i feel almost the same way... the show has definately changed my perspective on life, i now know that no decision is an easy one to make, and my previous perseption of the world as black and white has disappeared, and now i always give everything a second thought... i think alot more, i think about my decisions, and how trustworthy certain people are. I always think, "nothing is what it seems" and i try not to have self pity, and i don't try to get pity at all. I now spend my time earning people's respect and trust, rather than having them like me because i am "cool" or if they feel sorry for me. I have really boosted my self-esteem. And i always have something to look forward to during the week! haha!
