I really do think that life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we deal with that stuff. While you can't totally evade reality, on a personal level reality is dependent on how we view it. Just as an example I'll get really angry at someone thinking they're doing everything they can think of to annoy me only to find out they're clueless of the fact that I'm mad. It's easy to feel like the word is out to get you (which is kind of how I'm feeling lately).
