There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so

Summary

This quote, by William Shakespeare, suggests that the perception of good and bad is subjective and influenced by our thoughts and mindset. It implies that events or situations themselves do not inherently possess a value judgment; instead, it is our interpretation and mental framing that determines whether we view something as good or bad. Our thoughts and perspectives play a crucial role in shaping our understanding and reactions to the world around us.
