Well, I actually didn’t say that we have total control over how we interpret our experiences 🙂 We have control over it, especially if we’re self-aware enough, but I don’t think we have total control over anything. Also, things don’t have to be just negative or positive, but they can be, and most of the times are, neutral. Neutrality brings a lot of peace as well. There’s no need to interpret everything as a positive, especially if it gets you further away from the truth.
