"我们看到的不是我们看到的,而是我们自身。"

Simplified Meaning:

People often view the world through the lens of their own experiences, feelings, and thoughts. For example, if you've had a bad day, you might notice more negative things around you, like someone cutting you off in traffic or a rude cashier. On the other hand, if you're in a good mood, you're more likely to focus on positive events, like a kind gesture from a friend or a beautiful sunset. This means that our perceptions are influenced by who we are inside, not just by what's happening around us. To put this into practice, try to be aware of your mood and mindset. By doing so, you can better understand why you see things a certain way and work on having a more balanced perspective.
