I think it's true up to a point as our thoughts do cause us a lot of suffering and changing our perspective or not taking our thoughts seriously can bring more peace. BUT it's human to be affected by other people, circumstances and situations and some are so extreme that it is only natural to be disturbed. With any statement like this, I think balance is key, not seeing it as absolute either way.
