Quote: "Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality."
I somehow do not agree with this quote; it gives a wrong message. Why can't we change reality? And why should we change the eyes that see it? Of course, we can act against reality if we want.

Hi Barakha,
I think this quote teaches us about Positive Thinking. Every individual has a different way of looking at the facts. Some may take it in a positive way, and some may take it in a negative way. So, if you are looking at the facts as a problem, you will perceive it as a problem. However, if you take it in a positive way, then you can produce better results by changing the way we perceive things. What do you say?

Hi SJ,
Thanks for your reply. I agree with what you say, but I would like to highlight that there are some realities that cannot be viewed in a positive light. There are instances when you come across things that cannot be categorized as positive or negative; it's just reality. For such situations, this quote conveys a wrong message, in my opinion. :D

Hi Barkha,
Nice topic to discuss. I agree with Shreeram; sometimes reality cannot be changed; instead, we should search for a brighter side of it and accept it. Because bad experiences will also have lessons to be learnt by everyone. Don't you think so? :)

Hi Barkha,
It changes with how you perceive things, Barkha. You cannot change reality. When a person tries hard, very hard to achieve something, and then realizes he cannot anymore, he loses. He surrenders, then he accepts (the truth). During this transformation, positive perception evolves, and he changes his perspective to look at it from a different angle.

Hey Manju,
Reality can't be changed, but an effort can be made to improve it. I agree we can look at the brighter side but shouldn't overlook it. For example, poverty is a reality that can be improved, and there is no brighter side to it, so we can't turn a blind eye towards it. What do you say?
Hey, we share the same liking. I like Barkha Dutt too, not because we share the same name but because of her persona.

Hi Barakha
Things are neither Positive nor Negative, we only categories it in two different categories.
BUT unless we categories it we can react to the same.
Eg: If you can not swim this is reality & if some one throws you in water & if you can not swim is reality & you believe the same or look at it in the same way then you will not survive. BUT if you look it at positive way then you will move hands to survive & you may survive.
Mind is the driving force to the world you see isn't it?
some time it happens that you are looking towards some one but actually you are NOT, I mean your mind is some where else so even after seeing, towards that particular person just because your mind is not with your body you can't see the person.
same way if your mind is driving force & if your mind think positive then the view to look towards the thing will be positive & if mind & body is together then you will take positive move.

Dear Barkha Singh,
It is up to everyone how they see things. If you find them acceptable, then go ahead. If you feel that they are controversial and subject to change within certain limits, there is no objection to changing them.
I do understand that things that can be changed are only changeable, and things, even if controversial, will take more time to change, often at a significant cost.
