DAE grow up thinking that blimps were futuristic technology instead of old tech?

I was born in 2005 in southasia and thought earlier that blimps were a thing of future or some sci-fi tech. A few years earlier I found out how rare and old they actually are. Please tell me I am not the only one who thought this.

TIL that time moves faster at the top of a mountain than at the sea level. This happens because gravity bends time, so the further you are from Earth's core, the faster clocks tick.

According to the Bhagavad Gita, how should one deal with people they know are not good for them, but cannot simply abandon due to circumstances or responsibilities?

There are some people whom I know are not good for my peace of mind and well-being. However, due to circumstances and responsibilities, I cannot simply cut them off or walk away completely.

What I struggle with is the anger that sometimes arises. Part of me wants to practice detachment and move on, but another part occasionally feels resentment and even thoughts of revenge.

How does the Gita reconcile these emotions? Krishna teaches self-control, detachment, and acting according to dharma, but what does that look like when you must continue dealing with people who have caused you pain?

Are there any verses or commentaries that specifically address this kind of inner conflict?

Which book made you stop and rethink your life?

Preferably non-fiction. If fiction not really in the mood for Kafka, Dostoevsky, or similar dense philosophical classics right now. Just looking for something with a different tone or approach.
What are the books that made you stop and rethink your life, the way you see people, or how you live? What changed in you after reading them?

Can someone with an imperfect lifestyle read the Gita?

I want to start reading the Bhagavad Gita, but my lifestyle isn't particularly disciplined or "pure" at the moment, and neither is my room where I would keep the book. In fact, one of the reasons I want to bring a copy home is because I hope reading it might help me improve myself over time.

Is it okay to start reading the Gita as I am, or should I first make changes to my lifestyle and surroundings? How do practitioners here approach this?
