On the complete other end of the spectrum, there is looking at the world through the eyes of a total novice.

This can be your own eyes after having traveled to a deeply different country culturally. Or the eyes of a child as they learn and see everything for the first time, or someone visiting your culture from a very different culture.

They can all help you see the beauty in things you’ve grown to take for granted.

someone visiting your culture from a very different culture

It's not even such a different culture but I'll share this anyway. When my husband (then boyfriend) came to visit me in Germany I complained about a loud construction on the street and that there are always constructions everywhere. To which he replied "fuck that's great, they actually do take care of potholes and the infrastructure?! Why are you complaining? In Russia they just let everything broken and no one even attempts to fix anything ever." Since that day I haven't taken any maintenance work for granted.

I've recently told this to a stranger at the bus stop that I happened to chat with, after we were bitching about the substitute bus always deviating from the schedule. I'm pretty proud to say it made her day and she didn't mind at all that the bus came seven minutes late anymore.
