Perspective

The table, which we see, seems to diminish, as we remove farther from it: but the real table, which exists independent of us, suffers no alteration: it was, therefore, nothing but its image, which was present to the mind.

-David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

How we see things, or how we choose to see them, does not change how they really are.

Even if we really, really want it to.
