Reality depends a great deal upon one believing what he sees–or seeing what he believes. Either way.

Richelle E. Goodrich
About This Quote

It is a fact that the majority of people see the world in a way that is entirely different from reality. They see what they want to see and what they believe to be true. For example, consider three people: Person A: I can’t believe politicians would do such a stupid thing; they should know better. Person B: I know; it’s shocking how far back some politicians will go to cover up their mistakes. Person C: That’s right; that’s one reason why I don’t vote for them anymore. Reality: The first person sees the situation as she wants to see it; the politician knows he shouldn’t have done it but he has no remorse or regret; the third person sees the same thing as she wants to see it and has no problem voting for him again. These people are not seeing reality clearly – they are looking at it through their own biased lens.
