You must understand that seeing is believing, but also know that believing is seeing
by Denis Waitley
(0 Reviews)

Denis Waitley highlights the relationship between perception and belief, suggesting that our observations shape our understanding of reality. The phrase "seeing is believing" implies that tangible evidence is crucial for acceptance, as we often rely on what we can observe to affirm our beliefs. However, Waitley also introduces the notion that belief itself can influence perception, emphasizing that faith and mindset can alter how we interpret what we see.

This duality underscores the importance of an open mindset in experiencing life. While empirical evidence plays a significant role in our convictions, our beliefs can also frame our experiences, making us more likely to perceive what we are inclined to believe. Consequently, cultivating a positive belief system can enhance our interpretation of the world around us, leading to a more fulfilling and enriched existence.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.
