Quote by William Shakespeare

It is neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so.


It is neither good nor bad, but thinking makes it so.

Summary

This quote reflects the idea that experiences or situations in life are neutral and that it is our perception and interpretation of them that determines whether we perceive them as good or bad. It suggests that our thoughts and perspectives play a significant role in shaping our emotions and judgments. Therefore, what may be considered good or bad by one person may not be the same for another person, highlighting the subjective nature of our perceptions and highlighting the power of our thinking in shaping our reality.
