What we experience is our own concept of things. That is why no two people see quite the same world, and why, in many cases, different people see such different worlds. To put it another way, we make our own world by the way in which we think; for we really do live in a world of our own thoughts.
Interpretation
Our perception shapes our reality, leading to different interpretations of the same experiences.
The quote by Emmet Fox emphasizes the subjective nature of human experience, suggesting that each individual's thoughts create their own unique perspective of the world. This means that what one person sees and feels can be vastly different from another's experience, illustrating the power of perception and the idea that our mindset fundamentally impacts our interpretation of reality.

It is the Law that any difficulties that can come to you at any time, no matter what they are, must be exactly what you need most at the moment, to enable you to take the next step forward by overcoming them. The only real misfortune, the only real tragedy, comes when we suffer without learning the lesson.

Surely nowhere in the world do oppression and persecution based solely on the color of the skin appear more hateful and hideous than in the capital of the United States, because the chasm between the principles upon which this Government was founded, in which it still professes to believe, and those which are daily practiced under the protection of the flag, yawn so wide and deep.
Nothing causes us to so nearly resemble God as the forgiveness of injuries.
