My favourite quote from my favourite nonfiction book:
"There is so much baggage we burden ourselves with over the years that keeps us from seeing things the way they are. Some baggage we carry with us for a single thought, some for years, and some for lifetimes. But there isn't one piece that isn't our own creation."
—Zen Baggage by Bill Porter a.k.a. Red Pine
