Opinions constantly shifted and evolved, were fluid the same way thoughts were. Ten minutes into The Exorcist you might say, "This is boring." An hour later you could decide that it was the best thing you'd ever seen, and it was no different with people. The villain at three in the afternoon might be the hero by sunset. It was all just storytelling.
In "Calypso," David Sedaris explores the fluidity of human opinions and perceptions. He illustrates how judgments can change rapidly, akin to thoughts that ebb and flow. A person's response to a film, like "The Exorcist," can transform from boredom to admiration in just an hour, emphasizing the subjective nature of experience.
This concept extends to human relationships, where individuals we view as villains can later emerge as heroes, reflecting the complexities of storytelling. Sedaris highlights that our perspectives are not fixed but rather dynamic narratives shaped by time and context.
