We don't see things as they are,
We see them as we are...
I feel this is SO true for me right now...
What are your thoughts?
Thanks

everybody views situations as to how they affect them as a person

I don't know where you really want to go with this, so I'll just say I see it somewhere in between. (Perhaps that's where *I* am?) All our perceptions are the interaction of objective reality and our personal point of view. If you see a chair, for example, there is some objective thing there that makes you see a chair, and something subjective about you that makes you see it as a chair. So both you and the universe bring something to your perceptions and experiences.
Thanks for sharing!

The first noble truth in Buddhism is that all life suffering.
This suffering is caused by craving for what we have had in the past. Unfortunately, we have no absolute control over this.
Our personality is defined by what we do (this includes the way we act). What we do is perpetually try to negate our facticity, or situation, as Satre put it. We try to work towards how we were, or what we have gained knowledge of existing (in the past).
What you say makes sense. Remember that everything that we do is a choice.

Ah, I just got it!!! Like how if you think somebody hates you then you keep thinking you saw a dirty glare, that sort of thing? Hmm, I'm going to be pondering over that for ages now! Yeh thats a good one!

Everything we observe in the world is filtered thru our own preceptions. I don't think it's possible for anybody to be completely objective....and how we react to things in the world are 100% based on our experiences.

Subjectivity: our state of being. No getting out of the box. I assume you meant interpret, comprehend, analyse etc. when you talk about seeing.

A boss will run full speed with thier head down and then blame his/her subordinates for them running into a wall.

I would rather say that we see things as WE WANT to see them!
