"How we look at life determines how we live!"

I think it is true. But it is almost a tautology, so how useful it is as a principle is debatable.

It might be a tautology. It's hard to tell because it's rather vague. What exactly do you mean by "how we look at life"?

 

[Gerry Hunter]

I always liked Tom Lehrer's take on it:

Life is like a sewer. What you get out of it depends on what you put into it.

Determines seems like an awfully strong word. Let's say "shapes" or "influences".

Oh yeah. I too believe that our perception determines our experience.

I think just the opposite is more true: how we live determines how we look at life.

 

[Spinrad]

I believe life teaches us how to look at it, then we tend to force life into the same configuration we were taught.

Yes, I agree. Its a 'self fulfilling prophecy'.
