Rishi Sri Aurobindo
Many things are bad only in the way people look at them. Things which you consider all right, other people call bad; what you think to be bad, others find it quite natural.As for facts each mind always arranges them in its own way. It is a well-known phenomenon which psychologists constantly emphasize that each mind arranges facts according to its own impressions, predilections, convenience and, while this may be partly done with a conscious twist, conscious omissions and additions, it is quite or as often and more often done without any wilful intentions and by a sort of subconscious selection in the mental hinterland. That is why no three witnesses of an incident can give the same account of it - unless of course they have talked it over together - each tells a different story.
