okay real talk, one of the most radical conscious thought framework shifts i went through in my early 20s was to understand that everything belongs. Everything and everyone belongs, exclusion doesn't exist, it's not a thing; there's no phenomenon/person/tool/invention/idea/mental paradigm that "doesn't belong anywhere" and "should not exist", and this approach is preceded by the knowledge that life and in continuation of that nature is an extremely intelligent, intricate and efficient ever-evolving mechanism that makes no superflous and/or irrelevant, useless "parts". If something exists it's because it has a use, nature wastes no time eliminating what serves no purpose. So the question never is about "whether something or someone belongs", everything belongs. The question is when, where, and in what form, to what degree.
The second radical thought framework shift i had was, everything makes sense and has a functional, elegant system to it. If you think something is nonsensical it's because you have a very surface level superficial view of it and/or you dont have all the parts yet, you need to dive deeper, look for nuance, be patient and keep an open minded and a curious attitude; wait the wilderness out. Some knowledge takes years to reveal itself, it does not mean that there's no intelligent design to it and that it's random. You're just not equipped with the right tools to understand it yet.
And now, roughly 2 months to my 32nd birthday comes the third thought framework shift: everything has meaning and significance and worth. Meaning is not something bestowed upon you by some invisible almighty powers, and it's not a guesswork. "is this a meaningful worthwhile activity?" irrelevant pointless question; what you could say instead is "everything is meaningful; i just have to figure out to whom, when, where and in what shape."
