Perception is reality in the absence of fact

Pieter BF Swart
About This Quote

I have heard this saying in various forms throughout my life. The truth is, it doesn’t matter if the things you perceive are true or not. What matters is that you perceive them to be true, and act accordingly. If you perceive that people are mean, then they must be mean. If your perception of the world around you is that it is unfair, then you must act accordingly.
