Family, your place in the family, feeling like at times you don't belong or are an outsider (I'm adopted). Reminded me of my teen self and the times when I fell in love and had young crushes. Being the older brother it also made me think about how I tried to protect, teach, and also annoy my younger brother.

Another: in "It's a Wonderful Life" when he returns from the bridge and no-one realizes what he just went through and is happily back to reality.
Underrated one is when the father in Mary Poppins has a similar realization and goes to spend time with his kids.
The Family Man, when he happily trades his privileged penthouse lifestyle in NYC for a family in the burbs.
Those 3 sort of hit home, not sure why. I guess it sort of happened in real-life. A senior master sergeant broke down crying at his retirement ceremony after realizing he worked too much and spent too little time with his family. But at least he realized it and hopefully changed.
The epic rant about the human condition in Fight Club is pretty good too.

There are times in life when the world just seems to slow down, and you are fully in the moment. When everything around you seems to almost solely harmonize with you. Just completely being in the moment, and you feel at one with everything. Hard to explain.
Those are the times I really cherish, they don't come often.

Understanding an action and endorsing it are not the same thing.

It does go into the family dynamic, that 'sense of belonging', and yes that you're adopted is a major factor. Is your younger brother adopted as well? That sense of 'inclusion' is huge: my wife's father said, at the end of his wedding speech (translated from German): "I thought I might lose a daughter in this, and instead I gained a son."
We go for motorcycle rides in Germany, chop wood if I'm here for the summer. Wifey brings me out an ice cold beer and 'mettbrot' - nice and salty. Her parents are my friends - I never thought this could happen, as I had always clashed with my gf's parents in the past. *Always*.
Puni mentioned the other day that he does ban accounts. But it's that time of year where the misery crew desperately need "to vent". You end up just ignoring the vast majority of his drivel.

It is one I have found more common in rural areas than big cities too.
