Change your perspective… and the reality changes!

That’s what a daycare npc told me in Pokemon Black. Although I haven’t really found much use for the quote, it has stuck with me for long.

When I was in high school, a friend of mine came from a Republican family. He once told me “You think that if it would be nice that a thing were true, that means it is true”.

It took me a long time to understand what he meant, but I finally do, and he was spot on with how my philosophy worked.
