Perception is the lie that we convince ourselves exists

Summary

This quote implies that our perception of reality may not necessarily align with the truth. It suggests that our minds have the ability to distort or manipulate our understanding of the world in a way that can deceive us.

It highlights the subjective nature of perception and serves as a reminder to question and critically analyze our own beliefs and interpretations.
