Everything is the way it is because we've all agreed that's the way it is.

Charles De Lint
About This Quote

The idea of "everything is the way it is because we've all agreed that's the way it is" implies that life is perfect and can't be changed. This idea is a common misconception about life, reality, and the world. The truth of the matter is that everything is not exactly as it appears. Life, for example, does not always make sense to us; it's full of ups and downs; and things happen that we may not comprehend or expect.

If we all had the ability to affect each other and change things for the better, then we would be living in a better world. We would also be able to create a more perfect world by making every aspect of our lives better.
