What does this quote mean to you: The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven
I think the meaning of this quote is obvious. It has a lot to do with perception.
I think about people who are living in housing projects, with no jobs or steady income flow, surrounding by crime and chaos - who always seem to say that God has blessed them. Their conditions are hellish to the naked eye, but they see the big points of life. They have their health, their faith, and their family for the most part. They may not have the finer things, but they can see God's work and they know they can be blessed.
At the same time, is the millionaire living in the mansion on the hill happy? He certainly may be, but sometimes those whoo seem to have it all have nothing at all. If his mindset is positive and he cherishes the big points of life, then they likely are. However, a weak minded millionaire can be the poorest person in the world.
