This is one of those quotes where I'm not sure whether I agree with it or not. A part of me believes that our reactions to situations are crucial; and do change the situation a bit... how we remember it; how it influences others, etc. But at the same time, some situations have an expected reaction, or are so severe that our reaction to them doesn't change things or help make it better all that much. For example... death. I don't think a change in reaction would help or change that situation too much.
I do see where the quote is coming from, however. What you make of situations is what counts. In my opinion, life is one big situation! When you wake up, you have a choice. You can either be happy and make the best of whatever comes your way, or be miserable and sulky all day. I guess this would tie in with reactions; yes? I myself try very hard to react positively to most situations; and for the most part I succeed... I do however get bitter at times, which I sincerely apologize for. In the end; I think that blaming someone's perspective of a situation on how they reacted to it is a little childish... to certain extremes. As I was saying earlier, most situations have expected reactions and people who know this usually react in that preset way. It really depends on the person. React naturally, and react wisely. That's all I'll say. - maddie
