The way we are

“We don't see things as they are; we see them as we are.” ―  Anais Nin

The intricacies of life are absolutely fascinating.  

Without a doubt our frame of reference determines how we see things.  This means that it is open for interpretation and understanding, with a fair amount of bias linked thereto.  Past experiences do play a role as we become who we are because of what we go through. 

We should all change our glasses to look at life with fresh eyes and see things the way they are and not the way we are.
