While it is true that subjective reality can affect our lives, there is
also objective *REALITY*. For an example of perception that does not match
reality read <http://www.christianitytoday.com/bc/2005/001/3.8.html>.
Simply believing something is true may make you feel better about yourself,
but it still doesn't make it true. We all need a reality check from time to
time.
