“We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.” — Anaïs Nin https://t.co/ycMGVfzDEj

“We do not see things as they are. We see things as we are.”

Anaïs Nin is famously quoted as saying, “We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.” That is, the truth is not as objective as we would like to believe. The truth is culturally mediated and socially negotiated and constructed based on our communal view of reality—our beliefs.
