What is Truth vs perception?
As nouns the difference between perception and truth is that perception is organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information while truth is the state or quality of being true to someone or something.
Why is it important to know the truth?

Does the truth depends on one’s point of view?

How can an understanding of the difference between truth and opinion?

Why is truth a matter of perspective?

Should we conflate perception with reality?
To conflate perception with reality is to reject the Enlightenment and harken back to the Middle Ages. Perception is not reality, but, admittedly, perception can become a person’s reality (there is a difference) because perception has a potent influence on how we look at reality.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. – Marcus Aurelius “But I saw a giant almost stomp a car into nothing!”
